The City of Great Bend, in partnership with JEO Consulting Group, will be conducting in-person visits to homes and businesses as part of a federally mandated Water Service Line Inventory. These visits are crucial for ensuring compliance with new regulations requiring the identification of all water service line materials in the city.

The City of Great Bend is committed to maintaining a safe and reliable water supply for all residents and businesses. As part of this effort, representatives from the City and JEO Consulting Group may be visiting properties across the city to gather information about the material of water service lines. This information will help the city identify and address any potential lead service lines and ensure the safety of the community’s water system.

What You Need to Know

Visits start date: Monday, Feb. 10 through Wednesday, Feb. 12

Hours of visits: Representatives will conduct visits between 3 through 7:30 p.m.

What to Expect: During the visit, representatives may: 

• Ask a few brief questions about your property’s plumbing.
