Plant/Process Description:
The Cooperative Arkansas City Water Department
was established in 1893. The City of Arkansas
City still utilizes the below ground clearwell
that was constructed in 1914. The floor of this
clearwell is actually the existing limestone
bedrock.
Today’s primary water source is provided by ten
wells on the west side of the City of Arkansas
City. Also available is a surface water supply on
the eastern side of the City from the Walnut
River. The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at 513 W.
Washington was constructed in 1972. The WTP
softens, clarifies and filters all water prior to
delivery into the water distribution system and
is designed with a capacity to treat 7 million
gallons of water per day.
Water produced by the City of Arkansas City is
used primarily within the City limits. However,
Sumner Rural Water District #4, west of Ark City
also purchases their water from the City of
Arkansas City. This water is delivered to homes
and businesses via approximately 90 miles of
buried pipelines and 5,300 water meters.
