Conserve water in Village to cut costs

Due to state law, the Village POA has been planning for a number of years to expand the water treatment plant.
When a water treatment plan exceeds 80% of plant capacity, planning to expand capacity must begin. Hot Springs Village first exceeded the 80% in 2005. In 2010, Hot Springs Village exceeded the 80% on 30 days, most occurring in August during the spate of days with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees.
Design plans are now underway and cost estimates at this time put the construction costs at greater than $4,000,000.
In an effort to delay the cost of expanding the plant as long as possible, the POA is encouraging residents to be conscious of the amount of water that is used each month.
