The July 1, 2026 City Administrator report states that the city is working with GAS, PEC, KRWA, and KWO to update the Valley Falls Water Conservation Plan. The Administrator notes there is currently no update but plans to submit a revised plan to the council for approval and adoption once the process is complete. This indicates the city is actively reassessing its long-term water use, conservation measures, and regulatory compliance in collaboration with multiple technical and state-level partners.For vendors, this signals upcoming policy and operational changes in the water utility that may drive future projects such as metering upgrades, leak detection, public outreach, or infrastructure improvements supporting conservation goals. Building relationships now with the city and existing partners (GAS, PEC, KRWA, KWO) can position vendors for follow-on work once the updated plan is adopted and specific capital or programmatic actions are identified.

Water Conservation Plan updates often precede capital investments or operational changes; multiple organizations are involved, including the existing CDBG/SS4A partners GAS and PEC.
