For the past couple of years, Derby has been in negotiations with the city of Wichita for a new wholesale water services agreement – with the original contract (set in 2001) coming up on its expiration. While there have been holdups along the way – stemming from Wichita’s focus on its own facility upgrades, the current pandemic, etc. – City Manager Kathy Sexton presented the Derby City Council with a new proposed agreement at its most recent meeting on Sept. 8. The renewed agreement would look very similar to the original agreement, according to Sexton, and include no immediate changes for Derby customers. One large caveat of the new agreement, though, would allow for Derby to take on some of its water services (as the city looks into constructing its own water treatment facility).
