I wanted to give everyone an update on our town’s water tank project.  The painting of the tank has been completed and we are told that due to the colder temperatures it will likely take approximately two weeks for the paint to fully cure.  Once the paint has cured and a followup inspection by the contractor has been completed the tank will be fully sanitized and filled with water.  

We are required to stay under a boil order until this process has been completed and the water is tested by the State of Arkansas.  It is reasonable to expect that the boil order will be in effect for approximately three more weeks.  

Thank you,

Dwane Malotte
Mayor, Town of Oak Grove
