Wichitans - Please Forgo the Sprinklers!

It's that time again!

The City of Wichita has announced that there's been an unexpected breakdown in the water treatment plant, leaving the city with only about half of its normal water flow!

The water we do have is just fine, safe to drink, but there's just not as much of it!

The city is asking residents on city water to please discontinue exterior uses of water for about a week! This would be things such as watering the lawn, washing the car, hosing down the house, etc. And if you can be conservative in your water usage inside, that'd help too!

If we are not conservative, there is a chance water could run dry for important features such as fire hydrants, and eventually even to our faucets!

If you use well water for any of these purposes, you are just fine to continue doing so!

But for the rest of us - Hold the Sprinklers!
