    WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The City of Wichita will need to find $4 million to operate its new water treatment plant.

    Mayor Lily Wu says the contract the City Council approved years ago was only for construction. She says one contract involved the upstart but that it was not selected.

    “Not only do we have loans that we still have to pay for, but this new water treatment plant is also going to be paid for by ratepayers over time. Now again, this $4 million to get it operational is something that should have been accounted for by the previous administrations, but it was not,” said Wu.

    City council members will vote on the operations contract on Tuesday.
