The consumer confidence report for 2015 has been released. These reports are required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), so that customers are informed of the quality of their water. Once again, Benton Utilities Water Department had no violations. Our employees pride themselves in providing the best quality water possible. We have achieved quality standards far exceeding the EPA requirements. Our treatment processes utilize the most current treatment chemistry. This chemistry allows us to use fewer treatment additives, thus producing better tasting water. We are proud of how far we have come in providing the public with safe drinking water. If you have any concerns about your water quality please call me: Steve DiCicco, Water Department Manager, Benton Utilities, 501-776-5942.
