Water Conservation Rebate Program
The City dedicated another $100,000 to the Water Conservation Program this year. Beginning February 1, water customers became eligible to receive a rebate for switching to high efficiency appliances and other water efficient devices: such as HE washing machines, dishwashers, toilets and smart irrigation controls, rain sensors and rain barrels. In the first 30 days of the program, nearly $30,000 in rebates have been awarded.

Every summer the Wichita Public Library provides a great way for teens to learn new skills and receive volunteer time. More than a hundred teenagers are needed to help us with our Summer Reading Program. The volunteer program requires at least a 6-week commitment, and openings are available at all of the Library locations across Wichita. Visit any Wichita Public Library to learn more or click this link for more information.

Dust mitigation near schools
Public Works & Utilities - Street Maintenance division has begun the first of eight dust control treatments to unpaved streets that are within 100 feet of a school. A magnesium chloride treatment is applied following regularly scheduled, unpaved-street grading. Streets near the following schools received the first treatment on April 21, 2016: Cessna Elementary, Dodge Edison Elementary, Earhart Elementary, Isely Elementary, Kelly Elementary, Little Early Childhood Center, L'Ouverture Elementary, and Sedgwick County Christian School.
Approximately, 10,000 square yards will be addressed with this method of dust control. Most of the treatments will be completed during, and in preparation for, the school year to address the amount of dust stirred up by buses and increased traffic.

The program encourages citizens to call Crime Stoppers if they have information about a felony crime, and wish to remain anonymous. This means that they have not directly contacted law enforcement. Crime Stoppers always encourages cooperation with law enforcement, but in those cases where citizens do not want to call police, they are encouraged to provide the information they have anonymously through Crime Stoppers by one of the following ways:
Call (316) 267-2111 or 1-800-222-TIPS
Text TIP217 plus your tip to CRIMES (274637) or
If you would like more information on the program or you are interested in volunteering you may call the Wichita Crime Commission at 267-1235 or
