The water system consists of 4” to 16” piping and over 25 miles of water lines, with approximately 2,200 metered services. This is in conjunction with a 750,000 gallon water tower that provides pressure to the system of about 50-55 pounds. The City currently uses 300,000 to 500,000 gallons per day.
Valley Center will keep all of its water rights intact, due to the fact that the City of Wichita will purchase the water from our well field.
A safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community. It creates jobs, attracts industry and investment, and provides for the health and welfare of citizens in ways ranging from disease prevention to fire suppression. We often take water supply for granted until it is threatened, either by drought, water main breaks, or some other event.
