As of July 23, 2019 at 10:45 a.m., the Department of Health has LIFTED the ‘Boil Water’ Notice issued by Arkansas Department of Health for the following areas.
- Date/Time: 7/22/2019 8:18:58 AM
Company: HASKELL WATER SYSTEM
Customers: for the Entire Haskell Water System in Saline Co.
Reason: Main break - Date/Time: 7/22/2019 7:20:37 AM
Company: SOUTHWEST WATER ASSOCIATION
Customers: for the entire system South and East of Interstate 30 in Saline Co., Grant Co. & Hot Spring Co.

This order was issued as a precautionary measure because of the possibility that contaminated water may have entered the distribution system as a result of a complete loss in normal system pressure.
What this means to you:
Under the ‘Boil Water’ Notice, all affected customers are advised that the water may be unsafe for human consumption, and water used for drinking or food preparation must be boiled briskly for one (1) minute prior to use. All ice cubes should be discarded and only boiled water used for making ice.
This Notice will be lifted by the Department of Health when 2 set(s) of bacteriological samples indicate that the water is free of bacterial contamination and an adequate disinfectant level is established throughout the distribution system.
