Wichita's Public works department had several funding requests for water and sewer services across the city for 2021.

Those projects include:

* $2 million for arterial water mains at the north junction project. 

* $5.7 million each for replacing or rehabilitating failing water and sewer infrastructure.

* $1.1 million to eliminate dead ends in water mains.

* $2.6 million to replace remaining spurlines at the Equus Wellfield north of the city.

* $1 million to replace water mains in the Planeview neighborhood.

* $3.07 million to replace water mains in the Hilltop neighborhood.

* $2.4 million for water and $1.762 million for sewer mains, which will help with future development.

The city says all of these projects will provide more reliable service to Wichita customers.
