Forget watering the lawn or washing the car in Casa, and save the water for yourself, especially during the hot, dry spell Arkansas is having.

That's what residents of the small Perry County town are being asked to do after problems with their water source.

"The pressure's really low, you could really tell it this morning. But it's been low the last couple of days, says resident Clinton Brixey.

Casa gets its water from nearby Ola and Danville, but when the treatment plant in Ola was shutdown recently and Danville slowed down its water flow to Casa, things got worse for the small community.

"I'm hoping the health department will relent and come up and let them start up at Ola, that would solve our problem,” says Casa mayor Alan Harris.

No one is in dire straits in Casa because of the situation, but city hall wants to keep it that way, and has asked residents to conserve water wherever they can.
