2 boil orders lifted; one remains in effect

Two boil water orders have been lifted while one remains in effect.

According to the Arkansas Department of Health, the boil orders for the West Stone County Water Association in both Stone and Searcy Counties have been lifted. The advisories were issued due to a power outage, last Saturday, Jan. 28 for the customers along Highway 263 between Mozart and Shirley and along Highway 9 to Turkey Creek.

A boil water order remains in effect for the East Newton County Water Association due to a main break. The advisory is for the area of Norton’s Country Store going north on Highway 123 and ending at the Buffalo River.

All affected customers are advised the water may be unsafe for human consumption, and water used for drinking or food preparation must be boiled briskly for one minute prior to use.

All ice cubes should be discarded and only boiled water used for making ice.
