Beaver Water District Taking Proactive Steps Towards Growth
On the surface, Beaver Lake is a source of outdoor recreation for Northwest Arkansas, but it also provides drinking water for over half a million people who call our region home. Beaver Water District is taking proactive measures to ensure long-term water sustainability as the region continues its significant growth.
Pumped Up: Utility company Beaver Water District in Lowell plays a crucial role in supplying safe drinking water to several regional cities, including Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville. The facilities currently treat and provide nearly 140 million gallons of safe drinking water daily.
Free Refills: As part of its 2023 master plan, BWD has partnered with engineering company Black & Veatch to begin a $540m water treatment facilities expansion program to boost supply and treatment capacity to 220 million gallons per day by 2032.
