Town of Bennett Celebrates Dedication and Ribbon Cutting of New Lift Station |
|
The Town of Bennett celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new lift station on Monday, June 28, 2021.

This is a critical piece of infrastructure for Bennett’s water system because it ensures capacity for new homes being built in Bennett Crossing and makes sure the Town’s sewers flow efficiently to the correct place.
The Town would like to thank their partners on this project, AQUA Engineering, LGI Homes, Rick and Elizabeth Mitchel, Terramax Consulting, Dan's Custom Construction and the Department of Local Affairs for their efforts in making this project a successful one.
