As the City of Wichita waits for crews to finalize the latest water level readings at the Cheney Reservoir, we could be just around the corner from mandatory water restrictions. “Makes you think. Kind of eye-opening. Like, really? We could experience that?” This was the reaction from many residents like Katie Bickell Monday after seeing the latest images of Cheney Lake and learning that Wichita is extremely close to doing something it hasn’t done in more than ten years – forcing people to start saving water. “Honestly mind-blowing. Because you hear about like, water restrictions and other places, but never really like in your own hometown. And I’ve kind of never really heard of Wichita doing that before,” said Bickell. Wichita gets its water from Cheney Reservoir. Looking at new drone video from Monday, you see lots of muddy land far below where the water is supposed to be.
