Water cost gaps reveal western Kansas waste patterns
A Kansas Water Office study finds western Kansans use more water yet pay far less per 10 000 gallons than eastern residents. Western rates average under 12 dollars per 10 000 gallons while eastern rates run about 28 dollars. In Rolla and Alpine towns, flat fees and high per capita use underscore cost driven water consumption. Conservation is urged as block pricing discourages efficient use.
