After a recent story we ran about confusion in renting city facilities, here are instructions on how to do so, for your group, family or organization.

To rent the Sadie Johnson Center, a pavilion, the amphitheater, or a ballfield, call Russ at 870-532-7029 or go by the Parks office, located south of the 425/old Warren Road intersection.

To rent the pool or splash pad, during the summer months, call City Hall at 870-367-4400.

Any request to closing a street must go through the mayor‘s office, 870-367-4400.

This morning, around 9 AM, the phone lines at City Hall will be down for approximately 30 minutes.

If you call and there is no answer, please wait a bit and call back.

We will be updating our phone lines which will be beneficial in making sure we are able to help our citizens.

Over the next few days, the city will be smoke
testing sewer lines.

If you see smoke coming out of the ground, please do not be alarmed.

They will be smoke testing from Main Street to 425 and from Barkada to Old Warren Rd.

These are necessary tests that will help us identify any sections in our sewer system that may be faulty.

A water leak at Conley Street is causing a water outage from McCloy Street to Oakland Street. The length of the Outage is not known, at this time. ,
