What's new since our last update

•     No customer-reported leaks over night
•     Liberty distributed a semi-trailer of water to Pine Bluff residents Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, when supplies were exhausted. Liberty ordered a second semi-trailer and a free water distribution has been scheduled for 7 a.m. to noon on Sunday, February 28 at the Liberty location at 1100 S State St. This information has been posted on Liberty's Facebook page.
•     Correction to yesterday's afternoon report - the By the Numbers heading said 2-25-21 - that should have been 2-26-21. It was a typo.
