Arkansas water systems falls under new ownership

A division of Central States Water Resources has acquired the operating assets of Conway, Arkansas-based Flushing Meadows Water System. The acquisition was made by Flushing Meadows Utility Operating Company after approval came from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality.

Under the agreement, Flushing Meadows will continue to charge the same rates to customers as the previous system owners. The sales price was not disclosed in the announcement.

Flushing Meadows joins several other Arkansas communities in the CSWR network, including: Eagle Ridge Utility Operating Company, Hayden’s Place Utility Operating Company, Oak Hill Utility Operating Company, Sebastian Lake Utility Operating Company, and St. Joseph’s Glen Utility Operating Company.

Flushing Meadows has approximately 275 customers in Faulkner County.

“We are pleased to bring our team to serve the Flushing Meadows community and ensure that they have a clean, safe water supply and reliable wastewater systems,” said Josiah Cox, President of Central States Water Resources.

Central States Water Resources has operations in Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky. The company also recently acquired several wastewater operations in Kentucky.
