Water conservation required for east Fayetteville, Goshen customers

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.- The City of Fayetteville Utilities Department has advised residential and commercial customers in east Fayetteville and Goshen to adjust their water usage. Due to dry conditions and extreme heat, the City's water system is experiencing increased demand, resulting in reduced water pressure for some customers.

The affected area is east of N. Crossover Road, particularly in areas off Highway 45 (E. Mission Blvd.) and Highway 16 (E. Huntsville Road). Officials have placed restrictions on yard and landscaping irrigation to certain days and times of day:

• Even numbered addresses may irrigate between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
  
• Odd numbered addresses may irrigate between the hours of 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

With hot summer temperatures and heavy demand for irrigation, usage in east Fayetteville and Goshen is high, and parts of the water system are being pushed to its limit. City officials believe adjusting morning irrigation schedules to nighttime and restricting irrigation to specific days will assist in allowing the water system to recover.

Voluntary water conservation efforts are encouraged by all water customers in addition to the restrictions noted above.

To report a possible water leak, please call the City of Fayetteville at 479-575-8386 from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or call 479-587-3555 after hours.
