Our Water

The City of El Dorado is unique in that it is the only city in the State of Kansas to contract directly with the Corps of Engineers for its raw water supply, El Dorado Reservoir. The City holds sole ownership of all water storage. This water resource gives the City a virtually unlimited quantity of water to support the needs of the Community. El Dorado's water has been voted "The Best Tasting Water in Kansas".

Award-Winning Facility

The City has the only waste water treatment facility in the state that incorporates a wetlands ecosystem. In 2008, this facility was awarded the National Project of the Year Award in the Environmental Category by the American Public Works Association.
