   City asks customers in east Fayetteville , Goshen to conserve water
    
   FAYETTEVILLE , Ark . — The City of Fayetteville Utilities Department is asking residential and commercial customers in east Fayetteville and Goshen to adjust water usage . Due to dry conditions and extreme heat , the City’s water system is experiencing increased demand , resulting in reduced water pressure for some customers .
    
   The affected area is east of N . Crossover Road , particularly in areas off Highway 45 ( E . Mission Blvd . ) and Highway 16 ( E . Huntsville Road ) . Officials are asking customers to practice water conservation – especially during high - demand morning and evening hours , when people are getting ready for work and returning home – to assist those customers with low pressure .
    
   Also , the City is asking both residential and commercial customers in the affected area to adjust irrigation ( landscape sprinkler/watering ) schedules to occur between 11 p . m . and 3 a . m . With hot summer temperatures and heavy demand for irrigation , usage in east Fayetteville and Goshen is high , and parts of the water system are being pushed to its limit .
    
   City officials believe adjusting morning irrigation schedules to night time will assist in allowing the water system to recover .
    
   To report a possible water leak , please call the City of Fayetteville at 479 - 575 - 8386 from 7 a . m . to 4:30 p . m . or call 479 - 587 - 3555 after hours .
    
   For more information or questions , call Water and Sewer at 479 - 575 - 8386 .
