What to know about plumbing in Wichita
Cheney Reservoir and the Equus Beds aquifer
The City of Wichita gets its drinking water from Cheney Reservoir and the Equus Beds aquifer and treats it before distribution. The city's 2025 water quality report lists total hardness of 170 parts per million in a May 2024 sample, which is hard water. That mineral content can build scale in water heaters and fixtures, so ask a plumber about flushing and softening options. Source: City of Wichita: 2025 Water Quality Report
Private-side lead lines are the owner's job
The City of Wichita says it has replaced more than 10,000 public lead service lines and will replace any more public lead lines it finds. Private service lines are not part of the city's system, so replacing a lead line on the property side is up to the owner. You can look up the material the city has on record for your address at wichita.gov/leadmap, and a licensed plumber can confirm what is actually in the ground.

You maintain the line past the meter
According to the City of Wichita, maintenance and repair of water service lines on the property owner's side of the water meter are generally the owner's responsibility, not the city's. The city also says it is not responsible for sewer backups caused by blockages from grease and other materials other residents put into the sewer system. Source: City of Wichita: Water and Sewer FAQs
