To help City of Benton Harbor residents more easily authorize
workers to replace lead service lines on their properties, an online Right-of-Entry form
and electronic signature are now available.
The Right-of-Entry form is required to permit the removal of the portion of the water
service line on the water customer’s property and replace it free of charge. The city also needs residents’ permission to have its contractor connect and inspect the new water
connection in the residence at the meter.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called for the replacement of lead service lines in Benton Harbor in 18 months and the Whitmer-Gilchrist Administration has provided just under $20 million to Benton Harbor to speed up their service line replacement
timeline.
