Citizens of Elk City, Kansas are trying hard to keep the water plant open and operating. KDHE and the EPA are wanting Elk City to sign away the city's water rights and tie in with Rural water 23 out of Fredonia. This brings many concerns to our town as far as increased water rates as well as poor water supply from 23.
The city had fallen short on some tests and needed somethings fixed. The new city council and city employee's have worked hard to correct what was needed to and KDHE still doesn't want Elk City to have a water plant anymore. Elk City has an endless water supply that has never went dry when other towns are put on water restrictions, Elk City has been fine. Another concern is fires, a local town around here who just recently was forced to tie in with another water district had to watch a home burn to the ground, they drained the water tower and could do no more to help. Thankfully no one was hurt. Elk City will have limitation and restrictions incurred with being at the end of the line, meaning, if water runs low, Elk City will be the first to feel the loss.
Help Elk City keep the water plant in full swing and our water rights, its the best thing for the little town.

Elk city is a great little town that shouldn't be forced to shut off there water.
It not fair that some government officials decided we don't need a water treatmeant plant. What makes me so mad that you people think you have right to make a decision for our town. Just so we can help pay for a new water treatment plant for another town. Tell me how we as people are suppose to pay for a high water bill. Thanks for helping us safe our water treatment plant .Thanks for helping the little people. I wonder how you people sleep at night.noh that right I know howbyou sleep because you don't live here or care.
What is "good" for the state, is not what is good for this town. A prime example of the state trying to find anyway to squeeze another dime out of its citizens. No way! Much love to you all out in the sticks!
Let's fight for the right choice for the citizens of Elk City not what the state says is best for them!
Doing my part to help save this small town I will always call home no matter where I live
SAVE THE WATER PLANT.... SAVE THE WATER PLANT... SAVE THE WATER PLANT....
Good luck
