City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department

The City of Kansas City, Mo., Water Services Department is an enterprise-fund department that maintains water, storm water, and wastewater for its residents. The water services are entirely funded by user fees, thus are not funded by any general tax funds. Recently, after a 2005 voter approval, the Department has begun construction of a $1.4 million, 150,000 gallon water storage tank at the treatment plant to replace a 1925-built 75,000 gallon tank.  The Department services over 175,000 customers.
