The water supply comes from 29 active wells. The <br />transmission line from the highest quality water producing wells was constructed of cast iron in <br />1933 as a part of the Works Projects Administration. Recent testing of the line showed high <br />amounts of scale build -up, pin -hole leaks, and pressure drops. It is estimated that between 378 to <br />662 acre -feet of water will be saved annually once a new transmission line is installed. In June <br />of 2013, the City was approved for a $200,000 grant by the Arkansas Basin Roundtable from the <br />Water Supply Reserve Account ($50,000 from the Arkansas Basin Account and $150,000 from <br />the Statewide Account). In July of 2013, it was also awarded a $985,000 grant from the <br />Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) Energy /Mineral Impact Assistance Fund. Construction is <br />expected to occur in early to mid 2014. <br />
