Conway Corp water use update! We need rain!🙏🌧️

Last week, we asked our community to voluntarily reduce non-essential water use due to ongoing drought conditions. We know that message sparked conversation, questions and concerns. We want to take a moment to provide clarity and reinforce why we made this this request.

The short version: this is about drought — not development — and every small action you take truly makes a difference.

Why This Matters Right Now

Central Arkansas is experiencing extremely dry conditions. In fact, according to Chief Meteorologist Todd Yakoubian, this is the driest period on record for the state dating back to 1895.

From January through March, we’ve received just 7.14 inches of rain, compared to the normal 13.41 inches. That lack of rainfall means Brewer Lake isn’t being replenished at the rate we typically see this time of year.

Even though water is still available, drought conditions put added stress on our system. Across the country, utilities facing similar conditions are asking customers to conserve early to avoid stricter restrictions later — because small changes now can prevent bigger problems down the road.

Right now, this is a voluntary request.

We are asking all customers — residential and commercial — to limit non-essential water use, including:

• Irrigation and lawn watering
• Car washing
• Washing driveways and sidewalks
• Other discretionary outdoor use

This is only the second time in 15 years we’ve asked for a voluntary water curtailment. The last request occurred in September 2024 following a main break in the raw water line.

Taking action now helps protect water availability for essential needs and reduces the likelihood that stricter measures will be needed.
