The Arkansas Court of Appeals addressed in a May 23rd opinion a dispute between an Arkansas municipality and public water authority in regards to the sale and purchase of water. See Northeast Public Water Authority of the State of Arkansas v. City of Mountain Home, Arkansas, 2018 Ark. App. 323.
Mountain Home, Arkansas (“Mountain Home”) and Northeast Public Water Authority of the State of Arkansas (“Northeast”) disagreed as to the meaning of certain terms in a wholesale water purchase contract (“Contract”).
Mountain Home and Northeast entered into the Contract in 2012. The Contract replaced one that had been in place since 1982.
