Water Department Report

by Supervisor Raymond Arnold

In the near future, the Waterworks Department will be having some Renovations performed to the north water storage tanks and installing a large transmission line from the north tanks to the south tank.  This renovation project is necessary in order to meet  the requirements of the Arkansas Department of Health Rules and Regulations.  The renovation project is scheduled to start sometime in July or August 2012.

If your water bill appears to be higher than normal, check the leak indicator on the register of your meter.  The leak indicator is a red star on the dial and when checking make sure there is no water being used in the house.  Watch the red star for two (2) to three (3) minutes.  If it is turning that indicates that you have a leak on your side of the meter.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office for any assistance.

Also with cold weather approaching that means it is time to wrap up and that includes any exposed water lines or outside faucets.  Preventing pipes from freezing and bursting is another way to save on your water bill.

The Mayflower Waterworks Department wishes all of you a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season!
