Leftover water from wildfires being sent to Texas

HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Earlier this year, Reno County was hit by wildfires, and the community responded by making many helpful donations. After the fires were quenched and the area was restored the community found itself with a surplus of leftover water.

With the recent devastation in the Houston area, it became clear to officials that this would be the best place for the Reno County community to donate the surplus water.

Mid America Point of Sale, a McDonald’s point of sale distributor and service provider has worked in conjunction with the Reno County Sheriff Department, Senator Jerry Moran’s office, and the Student Veterans Organization of Wichita State University to deliver the water to a drop off point in Wichita to help donate the nearly $1500.00 dollars worth of water to the Harvey victims and volunteers.

That appears to be one of the biggest needs in Texas.
