The City of Wichita is reporting more progress in its recovery efforts after a cyberattack in May. Most public-facing systems are back in service with a few limited exceptions.
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 by mailing in a payment.
The city said because of the cyberattack, some June bills will be for more than 60 days of service. If necessary, customers can speak with a representative by calling (316) 265-1300 for a payment arrangement and to work out a plan to get their account caught up on payment activity.
The city listed several updates on the restoration of services:
