The City of Wichita is warning people to watch how much water they’re using after reports show a 6% increase in water usage commercially and 12% increase residential compared to June 2022. The city has also been in stage one of a drought since January and it says with the amount of water being used stage two is closer than before. “A couple of months ago we would say that stage two would maybe be February of 2024 but now those projections are creeping up,” said Megan Lovely a spokesperson for the city.
