Town of Bennett Water Service Interruption

Due to an incident involving a recent power outage some of the Town of Bennett water supply has been slightly interrupted, we kindly ask you to decrease your outdoor water use, shut off irrigation water or try to limit to a three-day water schedule for the next two weeks. 
 
This will help our well productions recover from the loss and ease demand on the system.
 
If you need more information, please contact Town of Bennett Public Works.

Bennett Days 2020

The Town of Bennett is excited for Bennett Days 2020. This year, there will be a six-mile bike ride throughout Town. Along the route, there will be several stops where participants can learn about Town history, visit community partners and enter into giveaways using QR codes.
 
Participants who choose to ride their bikes must obey all rules of the road. Pedestrians are also encouraged to participate in the route as well. There is no start or finish on the route you may enter and exit at any.
 
We ask that residents who live along the bike route kindly move their vehicles off the road on Saturday September 12. This is so we can keep all participants as safe as possible.

You can find the bike map along with other Bennett Days information here.

Town of Bennett Code Enforcement Officer and Designated Staff Approved to Issue Parking Violations

The Town of Bennett Board of Trustees approved Ordinance 714-20 on August 11, 2020 that allows town staff to enforce parking violations.
 
The Town of Bennett has seen a steep increase in parking ordinance violations, especially with oversized vehicle parking along Marketplace Drive. Due to safety concerns, the Town Board approved a change to the municipal code that allows the Code Enforcement Officer and other town staff designated by the Town Administrator to enforce parking violations.
 
Previously, tickets could only be issued by the Adams and Arapahoe County Sheriff's Departments.

More information on the Town of Bennett Code Enforcement Department and Bennett Municipal Code can be found online at townofbennett.colorado.gov.
