Water connects us all!
We worked with Benton Washington Regional Public Water Authority to put together a map to help residents understand where their drinking water is coming from. Solid lines are direct customers. Beaver Water District wholesales water to our four customer cities, and then the dashed lines represent to whom those cities then sale/distribute the water.

In the confusion that appears to be out there with regard to who serves who between Benton Washington PWA and Beaver Water District. The below was done by Beaver Water District with BWRPWA input. And remember, because of the postal districts it is entirely possible to have a Bentonville or Gentry address and be recieving water from Highfill or have a Rogers address and receive water from Benton Co Water District 1. This happens all over our service area so it's important to know who your local provider is.

August is officially Water Quality Month! 🚰👍

To celebrate, we hosted our 21st Annual Secchi Day this past Saturday - August 15th! Environmental Specialist, Matt Rich, organized multiple teams of citizen scientists to collect water samples across Beaver Lake. These samples will be processed by the Beaver Water District Lab Department for Chlorophyll-A, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus.

If you are curious about the results - come to Beaver Lake Volunteer Day on Saturday, September 26th to hear our Environmental Quality team summarize the results! Register here https://tinyurl.com/4cmkjvrn. ✅

Lakes Appreciation Month has ended, but our dedication to protecting Beaver Lake has not! In the month of July, Beaver Water District and Beaver Watershed Alliance have been able to reach the amazing community of NWA by partnering with local libraries. 💧

At the beginning of the month, our team dropped off displays, informational packets, stickers, magnets, and plenty of goodies to SEVEN libraries! Visitors learned ways to conserve water and their natural habitat through rain gardens, smart irrigation systems, and new watering schedules.

We also lead FOUR summer storytimes - our readings taught the next generation about the water cycle, the importance of water, water-reliant organisms, and how THEY can make a difference! 🌟

Change starts are the community level & we are so happy to give back to the communities who support us. Thank you to the libraries who joined us for this year’s Lakes Appreciation Month.

Fayetteville is NOT under any mandatory water conservation efforts.

REPEAT - NOT A MANDATORY WATER CONSERVATION SITUATION.

However, it's never a bad thing to use water responsibly. It's hot and dry outside, so here are a few tips and tricks to do the most with your water year-round.

💧 Prioritize watering trees over lawns! Lawns naturally go dormant during drought; grass may turn brown, but it's not dead. Once it finally rains, lawns typically recover quickly without long-term damage.

💧 Run full loads. Dishwashers and washing machines are more efficient when they're full.

💧 Adjust sprinklers so they water plants and grass, not pavement, driveways or passing cars.

💧 Check for little leaks. Dripping faucets, running toilets and loose hose connections can waste much more water than you'd think.

And in general, try and use less water during the heat of the day.

Happy to be a partner!

More than 60 acres of forestland in Madison County will remain undeveloped under a new conservation easement announced by the Northwest Arkansas Land Trust.

The organization said the easement permanently protects a 66-acre property owned by Rebecca Livingston and Billy Minter in the War Eagle Creek watershed.
