Hutchinson Diverts Water to Avoid Flood

Hutchinson is pulling off a water rerouting miracle to stay dry—closing off control structures to divert Cow Creek’s surge around town and send it safely downstream to the Arkansas River. With heavy rains looming and flood warnings already in place for Reno and Rice counties, city crews are watching every drop, adjusting flows as needed to keep the streets dry and the community safe. Lower creek levels? That’s the plan. Smart, proactive, and just in time. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
