🚧 City of Beebe Mayoral Proclamation 🚧

Each year, underground utility lines across our nation are put at risk due to unintentional damage from digging without calling 811 first. These incidents can lead to service outages, environmental harm, serious injuries, and even loss of life.

That’s why organizations like the Common Ground Alliance and its thousands of members work to spread awareness of the national Call Before You Dig number — 811. Since its designation by the FCC in 2005, 811 has made it easy for homeowners and contractors to request utility line locations before starting any digging project.

By practicing safe digging—calling 811 in advance, waiting the required time, respecting marked lines, and digging carefully—we can protect our community, save time and money, and keep everyone safe and connected.

Safe digging is a shared responsibility.
To know what’s below, call 811 before you dig.

📢 Now, therefore, Mayor Mike Robertson has proclaimed April 2026 as National Safe Digging Month in the City of Beebe.

We encourage all residents and contractors to make the safe choice every time.
Safe digging is no accident. Call 811 before you dig!

Chicken Little Might Be Onto Something… 🐔
💧 Is It Just Us, or Does Everything Revolve Around Water Lately? 🌦️
It feels like water has been the main character around here:
Too much rain? 🌧️ We’re dealing with flooding and soggy yards nobody can mow. Not enough rain? 🔥 We’re under a burn ban.
🥵It’s so hot schools are sending bottled water on buses to keep kids cool. 🚌 As Bobby Boucher says: “Now that’s what I call high-quality H2O!” 💦
Afternoon showers pop up, morning rainbows show off. 🌈
📸 And, of course, the splash pad photoshoot…the forecast calls for rain 🙃 but the show must go on!
AC units working overtime...some leaking, others breaking, and plenty being repaired.🏛
Fun fact, though: about 60% of the human body is made up of water, maybe that’s why it feels like we’re living and breathing it these days! 😅
