Why does the Wichita Water Utilities want us to conserve water, but they don fix leaks for weeks or months?
During certain times of the year leaks occur at a faster rate than we can quickly repair. During these times, we prioritize the leaks and repair them as soon as possible. Also the source of small leaks are difficult to locate. To avoid large disruptive excavations, the Department may wait until the leak source can be better identified.
