Hot Springs, AR - Beginning Monday, August 22, and continuing through Friday, August 26, thermal water service will be temporarily interrupted while contractors install new controls for the thermal water collection and distribution system.

Contractors are updating the thermal water system and installing new controls that will enable the park to better collect and distribute the water and monitor thermal water use. This disruption includes the thermal water jug fountains on Reserve Street and Hill Wheatley Plaza. The Happy Hollow and Whittington cold spring fountains generally will remain open, but may have temporary interruptions lasting up to one day.

Please be sure to follow the park’s social media page or the park’s current conditions page online for the most up-to-date information on the project.
