A boil water order has been issued in the city of Cotter. According to a post on the Cotter City Hall Facebook page, a water main break has been reported at the intersection with U.S. Highway 62/412 and Harding Boulevard (U.S. Highway 62B).
Crews from the Cotter Water Department are reportedly on the scene working to correct the issue. Most residing in Rainbow Heights and near the Cotter School District campus have no or low water pressure. Customers are asked to conserve water.
