Benton Utilities Electric Department is onscene with a broken pole hit by a vehicle on Hwy 35 S just south of Bennett Rd. Customers in this area all of the way out to the south city limits (from Bennett to Apache and all of the side streets) will be effected by an outage due to this. When our crews arrived on scene, the remaining electrical structure was deemed unsafe, and the power had to be shut down to make the necessary repairs. We expect this outage to last approximately 4 hours while the repairs are made.
