The South Hutchinson City Council made a couple of decisions Monday night in the ongoing pursuit of additional water for the city. But larger questions continue to loom on the complex issue. The council, by consensus, directed City Administrator Joseph Turner to pursue a water rate study while continuing negotiations with the city of Hutchinson on a plan to buy water from it in the future. The board also advised Turner to file an appeal with Equus Beds Groundwater Management District on its denial of an application to allow the city to tap an existing well for additional water by converting a nearby irrigation well to a municipal well.
