Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, is facing a water crisis affecting 4,500 residents due to two major leaks from aging infrastructure. Water supply was cut off to 2,000 connections, prompting schools and local facilities to offer free showers. The city is working on a new well to improve water output, backed by $200,000 in state funding, but this may lead to higher rates for customers.
