USACE Vicksburg District’s Arkabutla Lake Announces Temporary Outage at Hernando Point

VICKSBURG, Miss. –  The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) at Arkabutla Lake announces that Hernando Point Recreation Area is experiencing a temporary water outage. The outage is expected to last into the middle of next week until a repair can be made to the area’s water well. 

Camping reservations for the area have been closed for the next few days until repairs can be completed. Campers already staying in the area may continue to stay through their reservation with the understanding that the area will be without potable water.
