The City of Archie can no longer pump water from the river according to Elmer Wright, Archie Water Plant Supervisor. The only water Archie has at this time is being pumped from the reservoir. The water plant is at it’s max. The City of Archie is requesting that the citizens only use water for drinking, cooking, bathing, and fire protection.
Please refrain from any excessive outdoor watering as this a waste of a precious commodity with the drought that we are experiencing.

Route H/Deepwater creek bridge closing July 30
The closing of Route H at South Deepwater Creek east of Butler has now been set for Monday, July 30, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Route H will remain closed at the South Deepwater Creek bridge until late September.
The old bridge is being replaced as part of MoDOT's Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program.
Weather and/or construction delays could alter the dates the road is closed and reopened.
The bridge was originally scheduled to close in early July. However, MoDOT requested the contractor doing the bridge project delay the closing on Route H until other Safe & Sound bridges in the area could be completed.

Show-Me State Swelters
From Senator David Pearce, 31st District
It is certainly not difficult to notice that Missouri is suffering under an oppressive wave of heat that is putting a strain on our state’s No. 1 industry. Agriculture is the financial cornerstone of our state’s economy. The current weather trend is causing serious damage to this industry, as well as potential future effects, including rising costs relating to food. This heat trend is the worst since 1956, according to the National Weather Service, with the state setting a near record string of days reaching higher than 90 degree temperatures with only 46 percent of average rainfall across the state.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), corn production in our country is deteriorating rapidly, dropping 9 percent compared to the weekly crop progress last week. In addition, soybeans have fallen from 40 percent to 34 percent in crop excellence in the last week. With no end to this harsh heat in sight, frustrations are running high as crops wither in the ground.
This week, the USDA declared all counties in Missouri as disaster areas due to statewide heat and drought conditions. Eligible farmers will be able to seek assistance from the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), including FSA emergency loans. By keeping track of losses and additional costs incurred by dealing with the ravaging weather, farmers and ranchers will have information necessary to request assistance from the FSA or any of the other federal assistance programs within the eight months following the disaster declaration.
