Beaver Water District broke another record. The district sold about 101 million gallons of water on July 15 breaking the previous record of 88 million gallons of water treated and pumped in one day set this past September. The spike in demand is not only because of the heat, but also because Northwest Arkansas gains an estimated 30 people a day.
