Approximately 185 Central Arkansas Water customers in West Little Rock along Arkansas 10 from Ferndale Cut-Off to Briggs Road on Arkansas 113 and all side streets within this area are under a precautionary boil notice until further notice, according to a press release from the utility.
The issuance of the precautionary measure followed a break and loss of pressure on a 12-inch-diameter water line that serves the area, the release said. The break occurred at approximately 1 a.m. Sunday. CAW crews isolated the break by approximately 3 a.m. CAW crews are still on-site and anticipate completing the repair on the water line by approximately 12:30 a.m.
While under the precautionary notice, affected customers should bring water from the household tap to a brisk boil for at least one minute before using it for drinking, beverage or food preparation, or dishwashing, and discard ice cubes from automatic icemakers
