Kechi acts to comply with state runoff regs

Kechi needs to move quicker to be in compliance with state stormwater runoff rules. That’s the message the city council got July 25.

In January, assistant public works director Thomas Bevan spoke to the governing body about a report done by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

KDHE visited the city to inspect its stormwater practices. The attention was likely brought about due to the city’s recent growth and development. The results were that Kechi currently has some deficiencies in its stormwater system.
