Upgrades to Wichita’s sewer system expected to eliminate 98% of the smell, city says

Federal loans will fund 49% of Wichita’s major sewer system upgrades, which are expected to get under way this year and will result in cleaner wastewater emissions into the Arkansas River by 2027. The Wichita City Council on Tuesday approved a funding agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency for $191,481,121 in WIFIA loans, the same program used to fund $280.9 million for Wichita’s new drinking water plant. “I just want us to pause for a second and actually celebrate this. This is a legacy project for the community, and specifically for this council,” City Manager Robert Layton said during the meeting.
