NOTICE

The City of Piggott Water Dept. will be flushing fire hydrants on the week of September 9-13. Flushing will begin at the 12th St. water tower and crews will work their way towards the East side of town over course of the week.
Hydrants are flushed periodically as part of our routine maintenance program that is necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system, remove sediment from the water mains, verify the proper operation of the hydrants, and to maintain fire fighting capability.
During the flushing process, there may be slight discoloration of the water caused by sediment or rust being flushed from the water mains. Should you experience discolored water, we suggest that you run a cold-water faucet that is nearest to the water meter until the water clears up. We also suggest that on days we are flushing in your area, that you refrain from doing laundry during the hours of 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Possible discolored water could stain light colored clothing. The water should clear up relatively quick as we move from your area. Should your water remain discolored for an extended amount of time, please call City Hall @ (870) 598-3243 to report it.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working to keep the quality of the water fresh and safe for our customers. Thank you!

Water/Wastewater Supt.




Welcome to the City of Piggott, AR

The City of Piggott is a proud community of 3849 citizens nestled in the northeast corner of Clay County and the State of Arkansas, along the National Scenic Byway that is Crowley's Ridge Parkway.  Incorporated on August 15, 1891, Piggott is the Eastern Seat of Clay County, sharing its power with the sister judicial district of Corning. This quaint town was named in honor of Dr. James A. Piggott by Mrs. Richard Throgmorton, the wife of our first Postmaster, in 1873.  This dedication was to commemorate Dr. Piggott petitioning the postal department to establish another office in the Throgmorton's home in order to make it more convenient for his practice and the budding community. A new post office was erected in 1941 and still stands today. 

The City, as well as its' surroundings, remains a farming community with considerable pride in the towns' square and businesses located throughout the city.

Historically, the town is honored for its association with Paul Pfeiffer which led to the renowned author Ernest Hemingway writing portions of "A Farewell to Arms" and other works in the community and leading to the present-day Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center honoring Hemingway's work.

The City also takes great pride in being a part of Andy Griffith's film debut starring alongside Patricia Neal, Walter Matthau and Lee Remick in the film "A Face in the Crowd" premiering in Piggott and New York in 1957.
