The City of Wichita said Thursday that it is repairing two leaks near the water treatment plant. The city said there are two leaks in a 42″ water main pipe between the Hess pump station at 1601 Museum Blvd and the current water treatment facility.
Public Works and Utilities officials said they have been working around the clock to monitor the leak and water pressure since becoming aware of the issue on March 23rd.
The city assured residents that the issue was no cause for alarm, and that they should not experience any service impacts from the leaks at this time. The pipe with the leak is one of three that supplies treated water to the Hess Pump Station.
Officials said they wanted to keep residents and customers aware of the situation. If water levels were to drop during the repair process, the city said a boil order may need to be issued.
