Lawn Watering Ban Extended Through September | Little Rock News

Benton Washington Regional Public Water Authority just extended the lawn watering ban until at least September 7th—pushing back from the original September 1st date—due to scorching temps, zero rain, and skyrocketing water use. Developers are also being asked to pause sodding and hydro mulch installations, since they’re thirsty and ineffective in heat. With highs near 97°F all week and burn bans still active across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, officials urge everyone to conserve water as they monitor the situation closely, with a potential review around Labor Day—or sooner if weather shifts.
