Due to a large water main break that was discovered early on
Friday morning, the Hot Springs Village water distribution system is in
critical condition. It is estimated that
more than one million of gallons of water was lost through this leak – on top of the Village’s largest
daily consumption level ever, with 3.95 million gallons of water used on
Thursday.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE PROPERTY OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION IS
BANNING ALL OUTDOOR WATER USE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. IN ADDITION, THE POA ASKS RESIDENTS TO LIMIT
THEIR DOMESTIC WATER USE TO ESSENTIAL PURPOSES ONLY – WHICH INCLUDES LIMITING THE USE OF WATER CONSUMING APPLIANCES
LIKE DISHWASHERS AND WASHING MACHINES.
IF THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CONTINUES TO LOSE WATER OR PRESSURE, IT
MAY BE NECESSARY FOR THE POA TO ISSUE A “BOIL ORDER”.
All large POA water uses are also closed until further
notice. This includes the DeSoto Pool,
Coronado Pool and showers at the Coronado Fitness Center.
The Department of Public Works is working to find and repair
all leaks to the existing water distribution system and to restore water
service as soon as possible. To report a leak, call the Department of Public
Works at 501-922-5524.
For additional information, contact Randy Noles, Director of
Public Works, at 922-5522.

What a disappointment in our community! Shouldn't plans for water treatment expansion be a real priority??? This should not just sit "on the drawing board", but should be the focus of everyone on the board. Mr. Randall: Why not use this crisis to reverse the negativity of your reign?
ReplyDeleteMr Randall, Your negatives just went higher with me because you chose to OUTSOURCE the EMERGENCY ALERT to area code 614 located in OHIO to tell residents of HSV there was an EMERGENCY..(614-3842337) How much did this cost?
DeleteWhat was wrong about using LOCAL Phone banks or for that matter the entrance to & from the village with signs, local radio,TV & Police depts..Cost would have been much lower.
We can promote the village all we want, but if we don't have water available, what's the use. But instead of making the water treatment expansion a HIGH PRIORITY, we're spending time and energy creating festivities that should be put on the back burner. Maybe when we promote the village we should make sure to tell people "bring your own water, just in case"!!!!
