Distribution
Central Arkansas Water
The Distribution Department’s goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality service while continuing to deliver pristine water to your tap, as well as, fire service to your community.
The Distribution Department is primarily responsible for the installation, repair, and maintenance of meters, services, mains, fire hydrants, and valves within the Distribution system.
The Distribution Department consists of four geographical work zones to provide quick response to our customers. Additional zones provide specialty services system wide that include: Fire Hydrant and Valves, Preventative Maintenance, Unidirectional Flushing, Hydrant and Valve Inspection, Leak Detection, New Construction, and Plant Maintenance.
Emergency calls from customers, police, and fire departments are coordinated through our dispatch office. We have crews on call 24 hours a day to ensure customers receive quick, quality service regardless of time of day or weather conditions.
The perimeter for each of the work zones within the Distribution system is outlined below. Reference the map below for specific zone information.
