AUGUST 2025 Community Impact Report

General Manager’s

Report

Each month, I am reminded that our strength as a utility is
grounded in our people, in how we show up for each other and
for the community we serve.

In August, our crews continued to respond with urgency and
professionalism; whether that meant restoring power near a local
school or preparing our systems to support General Motors’
next-generation production line. Our Water Operations teams
completed fire hydrant inspections and repairs, advanced major
water main replacement projects, and continued their stretch of
safe operations at Nearman Water Treatment Plant, now 650
days without a recordable incident.

But this month’s progress went beyond the job site. We trained
more than 2,100 hours across the organization, welcomed nine
new hires, and helped frontline supervisors build stronger
communication and leadership skills through our partnership with
Kansas Municipal Utilities. We celebrated promotions, paid
forward more than 50 hours of volunteerism, and joined forces
with IBEW Local 53 to collect food for local food pantries.

We stood shoulder to shoulder with our community at National
Night Out Against Crime, connecting with our neighbors,
customers, law enforcement partners, and first responders, all
aligned in keeping Wyandotte County safe and strong.
This report reflects what is possible when we work with purpose
and lead with people first. I’m proud of every team member who
helped deliver these results and I am grateful for the trust our
community places in us every day.
