City of Wichita Says ‘Most’ Systems in Service Following Cyberattack

By The Active Age | June 10, 2024

Most City of Wichita systems used by the public are now back in service with some limited exceptions, the city said Monday.

According to a news release, water metering, billing and payment processing systems are coming back online. Customers should expect to begin receiving updated statements this week. Auto-payments are functioning as normal, and customers should now have access to their utility accounts online. Bills may be paid via credit card, cash, check and money order by coming to City Hall, accessing your water account online at https://link.wichita.gov, by calling (316) 265-1300 or mailing payment.

Due to the cyber incident, which occurred last month, some June bills will be for more than 60 days of service. To speak with a representative, call (316) 265-1300 for a payment arrangement.
