Fayetteville Enforces Water Conservation for Customers Along E. Highway 45 and E. Huntsville Road
The City of Fayetteville, faced with the challenges of dry conditions and extreme heat, has issued a water conservation order for residential and commercial customers along E. Highway 45 (E. Mission Blvd.) and E. Huntsville Road (E. Highway 16). This move aims to mitigate the increased water demand, which has led to reduced water pressure in various parts of the water system.
This measure has been implemented due to the significant population growth experienced in areas near Highway 45 and Highway 16. As a result, specific restrictions have been put in place to manage water usage efficiently.
Residents are being asked to adjust their yard and landscaping irrigation schedules, with even-numbered addresses permitted to water their lawns during certain hours on specific days. The water conservation efforts seek to ensure that the water system can recover and maintain appropriate pressure for all customers.
In addition to the targeted restrictions, the city is encouraging all water customers to adopt voluntary water conservation measures. Simple actions like turning off faucets when not in use can contribute significantly to the overall conservation effort. The city recognizes that these measures are crucial to managing its water resources effectively during hot summer months.
Long-term solutions are also underway, with the construction of a new pump station scheduled for completion by the end of 2025. This enhanced infrastructure will significantly alleviate the need for water conservation measures in the future. Residents are requested to cooperate with these measures to ensure a stable water supply for the community.
For those living outside the affected areas, there is an opportunity to contribute to the city’s water conservation efforts by adopting sustainable practices voluntarily. By working together, Fayetteville can effectively manage its water resources and ensure a more secure future for its residents.
- Residents with even-numbered addresses can water their lawns between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.
- Odd-numbered addresses can water at the same times, but only on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday.
- Residents are encouraged to report possible water leaks to the City of Fayetteville.
