Yoder Water Crisis Update | Wichita News

Another water test in the Yoder area hit a dangerous nitrate level of 13 mg/L—above the EPA’s safe limit of 10 mg/L. This can seriously impact oxygen delivery in the blood, especially for babies, nursing moms, and pregnant women. A new water line connecting Hutchinson and Rural Water District 101 is supposed to fix it by blending systems, but the deadline has slipped. County officials blame fertilizer runoff and septic systems. Bottled water remains available for the most vulnerable until the fix is complete.
