An information meeting regarding the second phase of Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) project is scheduled for 7 p.m., Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at the Halstead High School Auditorium.
The ASR project, located near Sedgwick, Halstead and Burrton, will play a pivotal role in providing water supply to the Wichita region through the year 2050 while preserving and protecting the Equus Beds aquifer.
During the meeting, City of Wichita officials will provide information on various components of the next phase of the aquifer recharge project and facilitate discussion with design engineers and project regulators.
The four-phase project, which began in 2006, will address municipal, private, agriculture and industry water needs. Phase I was completed in 2006, at a cost of $27 million. The next phase of the project is estimated to cost $130 million, and will have the capacity to capture and recharge up to 30 million gallons of water per day from the Little Arkansas River when flows in the river are adequate.
The Wichita Water Utilities’ ASR project supports the Ensure Efficient Infrastructure Goal of the City of Wichita.
