Water levels in Wichita wells have been dropping since July, allowing wells to run dry. One woman made the decision to switch to city water after her well stopped producing water. Her next door neighbor lowered the pump in his well, which gave him water for a few days before the water level dropped lower.
Drought conditions ramped up quickly in southeast Kansas this summer.
