After being closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for almost two months, the Benton Utilities Customer Services Office is re-opening their doors to customers again starting today. In an effort to better accommodate those customers who need to visit us in person to establish service or open a new account, we will allow two customers at a time inside our facilities. We ask that each customer practice their social distancing while inside, utilize masks and gloves if possible and apply hand sanitizer upon arrival and departure of our facilities.
