Lindsborg approves mutual-aid MOU with McPherson County Rural Water District #6
Summary
The council approved a Memorandum of Understanding to formalize limited mutual-aid for water sampling and valve exercising with McPherson County Rural Water District #6; the motion passed 7-0.
On Feb. 16, 2026, the Lindsborg City Council voted 7-0 to approve a Memorandum of Understanding with McPherson County Rural Water District #6 to formalize limited mutual-aid for utility services.
The MOU authorizes the City to assist the District with water-sample testing support — including sampling assistance and coordination of certified laboratory testing — and with valve-exercising services to maintain system reliability. The agreement is structured so aid can flow in either direction but requires a formal request that may be accepted or declined by the receiving party. Councilmember Andrew Smith moved to approve the MOU; Councilmember Kirsten Bruce seconded and the motion passed by roll call vote.
City officials said the MOU aims to provide predictable procedures for mutual assistance on technical tasks that help maintain water system reliability across jurisdictional lines. No dollar amounts or implementation timeline were specified in the minutes; staff will follow up on operational details as needed.
