Benton Utilities Share Board is striving to help customers save on their electric bill by giving away fans again this year. As an added bonus this year they are also giving energy efficient light bulbs. Each qualifying customer is eligible to receive one box fan and up to four 60 watt equivalent CFL light bulbs. Even if you do not need another fan, you may apply to receive the energy efficient light bulbs. To qualify, you must have been a contributing member of the Share Program for at least 6 months and have a total yearly household income of $25,000.00 or less.

The On-Line Bill Pay option will be unavailable Saturday, April 25, 2015 from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM.  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.  Our software will be updated during this time. 

Benton Utilities Water Dept. recently responded to the report of a major water leak on Riviera in Hurricane Lake Estates. They have since called in an Emergency Locate and gathered the necessary supplies to make a repair to a busted 6" water main. To make the necessary repairs, they will be closing some valves in the area around 4 PM. Customers in the area of Riviera will notice little to no water pressure during the time it takes to make the repairs. Current estimate is approx. 2 hours to complete.

Benton Utilities (BU) is proud to announce plans to construct its second utility owned electric sub-station. The first sub-station the Utility built is located on Dale Ave by our main office. This station supplies 30 million watts of power to our city. It is capable of serving 1/3 of our total energy use. This station went on line in September of 2014. The second substation is scheduled to go on-line in late 2017!
