ARP, Texas — The city water project is underway. The first 450 feet of pipe is about to go in the ground according to the City social media page. Originally the City of Arp announced that it was beginning work on the long-awaited water project on Sept. 9, which marked a major step toward improving the community’s infrastructure and ensuring safe, reliable water service for years to come.
