Benton County Public Works Teams Demonstrate Dedication During Winter Storm Response
The Benton County Public Works teams have been hard at work in coordination with the Benton County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, and other responders to address the challenges posed by the recent winter storm. These teams have utilized available resources to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
With available resources, the public works teams have continued to respond to the aftermath of the storm. The current temperatures, which have risen above freezing, have enabled a plan to tackle slush removal and address tree-related issues. This coordinated approach involves teams dedicated to slush removal and teams focused on resolving tree-related issues.
“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the first responders, public works, utility providers, and medical teams for their commitment to the safety of Benton County residents,” said Benton County Commissioner Xan Augerot. “These dedicated individuals form an integral part of the larger team of amazing first responders in Benton County, and their hard work does not go unnoticed.”
