With a water contract now in place with the city of Coffeyville, the city of Caney looks inside the city limits to reduce water loss rates.

 One of those changes includes the replacing of current water meters with digital meters. City Administrator Kelley Zellner says the many small losses equals a lot.

 Zellner says the water contract with Coffeyville is vital, but cleaning up past errors is also key.

 Zellner says the goal is to replace and upgrade every aspect of the water system, so when the pipeline to Coffeyville is completed sometime in the summer of 2025, water loss will be minimal in Caney.
