Customers in East Kansas City may experience low water pressure due to active transmission main work

Posted on October 8, 2025

While making improvements to a transmission main connected to a water pump station near 63rd and Hardesty Tuesday October 7th, 2025, a part broke when water was restored leading to the main needing to be closed for additional repairs.

KC Water is monitoring the water reserves from the pump station and is working on feeding from others across the city to help backfill the site but the department wants to let customers on the east side of the city, near Raytown, know that there may be a period of low water pressure until the work is complete.

Full repairs are scheduled to be done by later in the afternoon, Wednesday October 8th. Please see the map below for a outline of potential impacted residences. Please contact 3-1-1 or 816-513-1313 if you have questions.
