Crews will begin working this week to install a sanitary sewer line and a water main line on Washington Way and 8th Street. We anticipate this phase of the Custer Utility Infrastructure Project will last approximately 6 weeks.

The anticipated construction phase of the I-70 and State-Highway 79 Off-Ramp project will begin on July 5, 2023 and work is expected to continue through September 2023. Working hours are 7:00am to 7:00pm Monday through Friday.

Traffic congestion and delays are anticipated, as the road may need to be closed periodically during construction. Alternative routes are strongly encouraged.

Alternate routes to Bennett include:

Manila Road - exit 299, then head north to SH36 and turn right (east)

Kiowa Bennett Road - exit 305

June is Reduced Building Permit Fee Month for homeowners! 

Get your permit during the month of June and permit fees will be reduced by 50% on some home projects. 

Permit fees on projects including siding, windows, fences, reroofing, decks, AC improvements, furnace replacements, water/sewer repairs and water heaters will be reduced by 50% during the month of June.

The goal is to help residents with the cost of permit fees and still encourage home improvement projects.
