“Exxon’s Pegasus pipeline ruptured over the weekend, leaking approximately 10,000 barrels (420,000 gallons) of tar sands crude oil in Mayflower, Arkansas. So far, 22 homes have been evacuated, and officials don’t know when those residents will be able to return. Part of the pipeline runs through a water source (Lake Maumelle) that provides drinking water to nearly 400,000 residents in central Arkansas, though officials say they were able to stop the flow before it reached that far.”
