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.
