Hutchinson to replace major water line, conservation urged
HUTCHINSON, Kan. (KWCH) - The City of Hutchinson is asking residents to conserve water during a critical water line replacement.
The work begins Monday under Severence Street between 17th Avenue and 23rd Avenue. It’s expected to take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The city said the replacement will require the shutdown of a major water line. During the repair, the Water Treatment Plant will operate at 25% production capacity.
“Since the water treatment plant will not be able to keep up with the typical hot summer water demand while running at 25% production capacity, we kindly request residents to conserve water while the pipeline is out of service,” said the city.
Once the water line construction is complete, city crews will repair Severance Street which should be complete by the end of July, weather-permitting.
