Village of Benzonia Water Connection Change
 
October 5, 2020, at the regular monthly meeting for the Village of Benzonia , water connection fees were discussed.  Fees have not been adjusted since 2008.
Council discussed and voted that that residential “hookup” fee be raised to a fee of $2,500.00 which is currently standard charge for this service.  This covers both ¾ in lines and 1 inch lines for residential services only.
Commercial and anything larger than a 1 inch line will be $2,500 plus any additional costs, including coasts of boring roads if necessary.
 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

IMPROVING AND BEAUTIFYING BENZONIA
Please be patient, important changes are being made to improve safety and beautify our village.
  • Beautiful BenzoniaMDOT Road Improvement Project: Work on US-31 through Benzonia is moving along quickly (although it may not seem like it).  Construction crews are working Monday-Friday throughout the summer.
  • ​USDA Water Project: Also being done Monday-Friday throughout the summer. This project is making vital improvements to our water system. By coordinating with the US-31 project we were able to keep costs down and minimize disruption.  
  • Academy Park Project: Thanks to a MDNR passport grant improvements are in the woks. These upgrades will make the park more accessible and user friendly with new playground equipment for the children, resurfaced tennis courts and improved basketball courts and a new pavilion with public restrooms.
