Beaver Water District

The Beaver Water District, which treats and supplies water from Beaver Lake to Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville, broke ground last month on a 4.99 megawatt solar park in Lowell.

The 32-acre farm will help offset energy costs and is part of a larger expansion project the district is investing in to prepare for increased demand across the region.
