SUMMARY: The Crosset Water Commission in Ashley County, South Arkansas, discovered that the water supply in Crosset was depleting rapidly due to major water leaks. The community quickly came together to find and fix the leaks before the water supply hit zero. The Water Commission and the director of the water department worked together, with citizens also reporting leaks. After a few hours, the leaks were identified and turned off, allowing the water supply to stabilize. The community is now urged to continue monitoring for leaks. Thousands of gallons of water had already been lost due to the leaks.

Crossett, Ar. (KTVE/KARD) — Over in Ashley County, the Crossett Water Commission reached out to city officials on Wednesday with alarming news – Crossett's water supply was steadily depleting. With fears that the water supply could hit zero, the community came together to put a stop to the issue by finding the sources to the problem.

According to Crystal Marshall, the Mayor of Crossett:

We have a Water Commission who runs our water department here in Crossett and we've got a wonderful director who monitors those levels. Levels that typically you would see decline at a rate over multiple hours were declining by the minute. So, we became aware pretty quickly that there was a significant issue. I had multiple citizens call myself and the water company and together we found so many leaks and were able to take a significant issue and put it to bed within just a couple of hours.

SUMMARY: A tropical storm in the Atlantic has been upgraded to a hurricane, currently about 50 miles from the center with warm water and low wind shear aiding its strengthening. It could become a Category 2 hurricane by tomorrow, and possibly a Category 3, approaching the Lesser Antilles by late tomorrow into Monday. Wind shear may weaken it as it moves into the Caribbean. We are monitoring another potential system, Chris, developing near Yucatan, possibly moving into Mexico. We expect hotter, drier weather for the Gulf Coast this week, but will monitor long-term hurricane impacts. An excessive heat warning is in effect, with potential temperatures reaching up to 114°F.
