Central Arkansas Water/Wye Mountain Water Association (the Facilities Board of Wye Mountain Water Association merged with Central Arkansas Water in 2011) has been asked by two (2) developers to expand water service into their area according to a CAW official at the June 24, 2024 public hearing at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Little Italy. The Director of the Arkansas Natural Resources Division, Chris Colclasure, will be making the final decision.
The expanded service area would be along Ross Hollow Road in Monnie Springs, Dwight Little Road, and Southridge Road - these areas are in both Pulaski and Perry Counties.
Comment Period ends July 8 @ 4:30 pm

PMCC STATEMENT regarding APC&E Commission vote Friday 4/26/24 RE: Paradise Valley’s sewage facility permit:
“We are very pleased that the APC&E Commission has asked the ADEQ to review these issues thoroughly.”
On January 18, 2024, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a Clean Water Act Violation for ground disturbing activities in the Waters of the US at Paradise Valley. Read the letter using the link below.
Lakeview West is within PMCC's area of operation. Violations include: ground disturbing work without a permit and violations of Best Management Practices. A proposed CAO is being issued. Community video after a rainstorm in March 2024 were submitted to the appropriate agencies showing construction stormwater flowing into Lake Maumelle.
Due to Leap-frogging developments like Paradise Valley, the PMCC working with a commissioner on the board initiated a land use study. We have a fighting chance to have our voices heard and issues resolved. Please stay engaged in the study. Find out more using the link below. To be added as a stakeholder, email Van McClendon the Pulaski County Planning & Development Director vmcclendon@pulaskicounty.net
