LITTLE ROCK — A levee break near the Pulaski-Saline county line has flooded a nearby community and cut off access to at least three houses.
The break at a pond levee occurred Saturday evening and crews came to the area Sunday to assess damage. Local fire officials say they think the levee broke because about 10 inches of rain fell in the area during the past few days.
No injuries have been reported but trees and power poles were knocked down.
West Pulaski Fire Chief Ronnie Wheeler says other levees in the area remain intact but likely will need to be checked.
Homeowner Wayne Stacey says there’s now no way to drive to or from his home and that either another road will have to be built or the current road will have to be repaired.
