Public Utilities

Responsibilities

The Public Utilities Department handles all of your water needs. We want you to turn on the tap and be assured that you have the best quality and best tasting water in Kansas. On the other end of the spectrum, when you are done with all that water, our sewer system transports the liquid waste to the El Dorado Wetlands & Water Reclamation Facility where removal of the pollutants and nutrients that would harm the environment occurs before returning clean water back to the Walnut River.

Mission

To provide the citizens of El Dorado with a well maintained and fiscally sound water production facility, proactive maintenance and enhancement of the water distribution system and sewer collection system; a wastewater treatment facility that meets all State and Federal regulations and operates as efficiently as possible. We will manage, utilize and protect El Dorado’s renewable resources to benefit the citizens of El Dorado, as well as future generations of El Dorado citizens.

Providing the best Utility Service for our citizens, award winning "Best Tasting Water in Kansas" and a National award winning Wetlands and Water Reclamation Facility
