The Arkansas Department of Health has placed the City of Hoxie under a boil order.  

Yesterday, Mayor Lanny Tinker told media outlets the department found harmful bacteria in the water. 

Residents have been asked to boil water for at least one minute before consuming and to replace ice cubes with water that has been boiled.  The order is in effect until Friday.
