WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The smaller tenants at Towne West Square have been warned that water and electricity may be turned off again in the next few weeks.

One of the tenants, Passageways Ltd., shared a notice it got on Tuesday from Towne West Mall Realty Holding LLC. The letter lists the next possible shut-off dates and suggests the shut-offs would be because the owner has not paid the utility bills.

“Please be informed that we will be facing a potential disconnection from Evergy Monday April 29th if payment is not made by April 27th,” the notice reads. “As of right now Corporate is aware and they are working on payment. I just want to advise we have potential disconnection of the water as well for May 4th. I will update as we get closer to those dates. I want to be transparent.”

Last Wednesday, the City of Wichita shut off water to most of the mall. Larger stores, such as Dillard’s, Dick’s, and JCPenney, remained open as they have separate water and electric accounts.

The City restored water service on Friday.

The water shut-off followed a power shut-off on Tuesday, March 26. The power was restored on Monday, April 1.
