WARREN, Ark. – The boil order for Warren Water and Sewer customers has been officially lifted as of January 24, following testing by the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH). Samples collected across the city were analyzed and confirmed to be free of bacteriological contamination.
However, the boil order remains in effect for other rural water systems in the area, including Bradley Country Rural Water, Southwest Rural Water, and Corinth Valley Rural Water systems. The Warren Water and Sewer department is currently coordinating with these systems to restore proper chlorine residuals and begin necessary testing. The boil orders for these systems will only be lifted after the ADH confirms the water is safe for consumption.
Below is the full press release issued by Warren Water and Sewer:
