PUBLIC NOTICE

As Northwest Arkansas continues to grow, regional partners are investing in critical infrastructure to ensure long-term access to clean, reliable drinking water.

The Beaver Water District (BWD) is currently advancing improvements to its water treatment and transmission system, including relocating key pipeline infrastructure serving Fayetteville and surrounding communities.

To support this work, Fayetteville will operate under scheduled conservation periods on:

· Monday, April 20

· Tuesday, April 21

· Wednesday, April 23

Additionally, overnight Saturday, April 25, beginning at midnight and into Sunday, April 26, at 5 am.

During these days, BWD will temporarily adjust water delivery to allow crews to complete construction and system connections safely.

Fayetteville maintains approximately 25 million gallons of stored water, not just for Fayetteville, but also for neighboring towns and communities of Elkins, Farmington, Goshen, Greenland, Johnson, West Fork, and Wheeler.

During this critical infrastructure work, we do not anticipate that customers will experience noticeable service impacts.

As a safeguard, the City is asking residents and businesses to please limit non-essential water use during these periods to help maintain system balance and ensure uninterrupted service for emergency needs such as fire departments and hospitals.

What this means for you:

· No expected service interruption for everyday essential household uses, such as drinking, cooking, bathing and sanitation

· Water remains safe and available

· Slight changes in usage during this short time help protect the entire water system

What we’re asking of all water customers:

· Pause irrigation for a few days

· Hold off on car washing

· Skip filling pools

“These upgrades are part of a larger effort to strengthen our regional water system and prepare for continued growth,” Fayetteville Mayor Molly Rawn said. “A few simple changes during these dates will not disrupt daily life, and it will help keep water service steady for everyone. Regional progress is all about being good neighbors.”

Fayetteville has coordinated closely with regional partners, healthcare providers and neighboring communities to ensure preparedness throughout the process.

The City will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates as needed. For more information, visit www.bwdh2o.org or www.fayetteville-ar.gov/utilities.
