RE: BOIL WATER NOTICE #4844
VAN BUREN WATERWORKS - PWS ID # 142
The Arkansas Department of Health has re-confirmed the 'Boil Water' Notice issued by Van
Buren Waterworks for the customers North of I-40 and including area south to Hynes Street,
between Fayetteville Road and North 13th Street, South to Northview Street, and theMount
Vista, Vista Hill, Heritage Heights and Park Heights areas on August 5, 2022. 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 water tank maintenance at the treatment plant.
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 sets of 15 bacteriological samples
indicate that the water is free of bacterial contamination and an adequate disinfectant level is
established throughout the distribution system.
We recommend that you directly notify the news media.
