Botanica to save 3-million gallons of Wichita water
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Even with recent heavy rains, Wichita continues to be in Stage 2 of its Drought Response Plan. To help, one of the city's most beautiful tourist attractions has come up with a way to save millions of gallons of city water. Botanica is launching a first-of-its-kind Reclaimed Water Project. It will reuse the test water coming out of the pipes of the new water treatment facility to water its 20 acres of gardens. The water is not drinkable, but it is safe for the plants. 'Botanica has developed a custom system on site to access and store, and move the reclaimed water through our irrigation systems, which covers 20 acres throughout our gardens,' Lynette Zimmerman, Botanica executive director, said. The water facility is in northwest Wichita, just north of the Sedgwick County Zoo, miles from Botanica, located near the center of Wichita. Rainfall amounts across Kansas Gary Janzen, the Public Works and Utilities director, said the new water facility was designed for finished water to be piped to the Hess Pump Station, which is near Botanica. 'Our engineers and operations folks were able to find an innovative way that will be able to capture that test water for direct utilization by Botanica, hopefully over the course of the summer,' Janzen said. Botanica plans to use the reclaimed water over the next 100 days, through the hottest days of the summer. 'We anticipate using at least 42,000 gallons of water a day to serve these irrigation needs,' Zimmerman said. 'Our goal is to use, overall, between three to four million gallons over the course of the summer.' When Wichita entered Stage 2 of the drought plan, Botanica found a way to reduce its water usage by 10% while still maintaining its beautiful gardens. Reclaiming water is the next step in sustainability. 'We have a quarter of a million plants here at Botanica,' Zimmerman said. 'We are known for our seasonal colors. We are internationally recognized for our water lily collection. We are a destination for nature's beauty right here in the heart of the Midwest.'

What biscuits are made in Carlisle's McVitie's factory?
To celebrate National Biscuit Day 2025 (Thursday, May 29) the News & Star had an exclusive tour around the oldest biscuit factory in the world, which just happens to be on our doorstep. The home of Carr's and McVitie's biscuits, among others, has been part of the Carlisle landscape for almost 200 years. It produces 246 different products and even enough bourbon biscuits to go around the earth two times a year. But do you know exactly what products are made inside of it? We have compiled a list of 10 of our favourite biscuits that are made in Carlisle. Bourbon Creams Custard Creams Ginger Nuts Tasties Coconut Rings Digestives Mini Chocolate Digestives Nice Biscuits Shorties Fruit Shortcakes Carr's Table Water Crackers (classed as savoury biscuits) A selection of McVitie's biscuits (Image: Newsquest) When asked how he was celebrating National Biscuit Day 2025, Mark Ebdon, Carlisle's factory general manager said: 'Every day is National Biscuit Day for us!' In celebration of the day, McVitie's also revealed new original research. The Great British Biscuit Audit by McVitie's saw 2,000 British adults polled and revealed that Chocolate Digestives once again take the crown as the UK's favourite biscuit. When it comes to dunking, tea remains the favourite at 45 per cent. The News & Star's exclusive tour of inside the factory will be published this weekend.
