Maintenance to East Chestnut Booster Station will reduce pressure

Residents east of the Walnut River should expect lower pressures on July 14

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. (July 12, 2021) — Arkansas City residents east of the Walnut River can expect reductions in pressure for at least a couple of hours on July 14 due to water system maintenance.

The water pressure reduction is due to needed maintenance at the East Chestnut Booster Station, which pumps water across the East Chestnut Avenue bridge to customers in the eastern part of town.

Lower pressures should occur mainly between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Further updates will be provided as necessary.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary maintenance might cause to our residents,” said Environmental Services Superintendent Rod Philo.
