Town issues boil order due to no water

PARKIN, Ark. (KAIT) - One Cross County town is without water.

Mayor Diana Patterson said one of the power panels that controls their water supply burned out on Tuesday.

By late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, she said they had used all the water in their tank.

They thought the problem was resolved yesterday when they received a portal panel.

Unfortunately, it did not work.

She said they are currently working on the issue and hope to have it resolved by this afternoon. If not, they will have to take other measures, she said.

When the water does start working, the Arkansas Department of Health has already issued a boil water order.
