UPDATE - Sunday, March 17, 2:15pm Sunday, March 17, 2024 141 The water outage experienced by patrons in the past week appears to be resolved and water service restored to those who have been without. With the assistance of the Kansas Rural Water Association, leaks were repaired and pressure restored throughout the Concordia water system. The line break at 81 highway and Noble Rd still needs to be permanently repaired at a future date, but poses no issues currently. We are in the process of flushing lines to improve water quality. If you are experiencing discolored water, please contact the office. The office now has a cell Read more
Water Update - 3-14-24 5:45pm Thursday, March 14, 2024 208 Patrons – we have had representatives from Kansas Rural Water Association working with us on this water outage.

Most of you do not yet have water but a number of people closer to Noble Rd and 81 are getting water so it is moving. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS A SLOW PROCESS but very necessary to keep the tower running at least at 80%. Read more
