CHEROKEE VILLAGE, Ark. (KAIT) — Cherokee Village Waterworks has now placed a mandatory boil order for Sharp and Fulton counties.

This is in addition to their urge for residents to conserve water usage following the heavy rain across Region 8.

Melody Brink with Cherokee Village Waterworks told K8 News they had turned off one of the pumps.

They said this is due to flooding.

“Hopefully just through to today,” Brink said. “But we’ve got to wait for the water to come back down.”
