After getting service restored this past weekend after a significant water main break over a week ago, most residents in Chase County got more good water-related news Wednesday.
Chase County commissioners, Strong City and Cottonwood Falls officials have replaced their rather longstanding water warnings with water watches, reflecting notable rainfall totals recently. This follows a resolution passed by Chase County’s Public Wholesale Water Supply District 26 The designation changes say “the probability of a major water supply shortage is no longer a concern.”
Voluntary conservation measures — water sprinkling for lawns or other vegetation, vehice washing, swimming pool or fountains — are still recommended.
Cottonwood Falls, Strong City and Chase County Rural Water District 1 have been in water warnings since late August.
