University Daily Kansan / Thursday, March 9, 1989 5 Water shortage hits home - Continued from p. 1 Because of a water distribution problem in Lecompton, the water district would not guarantee that it would deliver all the water the town would need. Worthington said that the town had paid just less than $20,000 to be attached to the rural water district and that faced another $20,000 to guarantee supply once the distribution problem was alleviated. Few options for McLouth It would cost the town of McLouth, about 22 miles north of Lawrence, a bit more than Lecompte to get rural water. Ernest Folsom, city superintendent for McLouth, said an engineer from the city's $299,200 for rural water use. "Those engineers get about 17 percent of whatever it costs to hook on to rural water, so they do what ever they can to get the price up." Folsom said. "I'd rather get it from the well anyway." But Bolson said two of the town wells were completely dry, making it necessary to use deeper wells which also dropped below normal levels. Stella Luse, city clerk for McLouth, said the town had dug some test wells but had no luck finding a new water source. And she said she feared the city's wells would not last much longer. "We didn't get a bit of snow, and the water we have would never take us through the summer," Luce sad. Olathe, about 25 miles southeast of Lawrence, has received both rain and snow. However, it is also on the list of drought vulnerable communities. Terry McKanna, Olathe utilities director, said the town was not having water problems, but he didn't rule out future shortages. Part 10: Rachel "If we have a summer like we had last summer, we could have some problems." McKanna said. McKanna said Olathe had three sources for its water: a well field on the Kansas River, a city lake and water purchased from another dis- Still, McKanna said that Olathe was preparing for the possibility of a water shortage. He said that the city had cut back the use of city lake water to maintain the supply and that the city had a standing ordinance on the books that allowed for mandatory water restrictions. Water restrictions have become commonplace for one town in central Kansas. Restrictions in Hays Hays has had a water restriction ordinance in effect since 1984, and plans have been made to tighten restrictions even further. Bill Keefer, assistant city manager, said the ordinance had several restrictive phases that the city could enact. Residents are allowed outside watering three days a week, but Keefer said lack of rain or snow had prompted the city to seek tougher measures. "We have received less than one fourth of an inch of precipitation since late September." Keefer said. Final decision on tuition rate up to Regents He said the city, which gets its water from wells along the Smokey Hill River and Big Creek, has had to start looking for new water sources. Opportunity Fund fee, which will add $6 to campus fees," Ambler said. - Continued from p. 1 The Educational Opportunity Fund will be used to provide scholarships and work opportunities for students with financial difficulties. Ambler said the Regents would make a final decision on campus fees in May.
