Kansas Partnerships
“There’s no place like home!”
When Dorothy uttered those famous words, she was talking about Kansas. Far from the black and white landscape portrayed in the movie, Kansas is known for its gorgeous sunflowers and its miles and miles of rolling farmland. But it shares one thing with every other state… aging infrastructure that can lead to unforeseen damages to service lines for residents. That’s why so many communities throughout Kansas have turned to the NLC Service Line Program by HomeServe to help their residents in their times of need.
Most homeowners don’t realize they are responsible for the water and sewer lines from the street to their meter, and are shocked to find they must pay to repair damage caused by age, tree roots, and other issues. Planning ahead and having a warranty program in place to cover these costs can make all the difference when an unexpected emergency occurs.
In fact, in Kansas we have:
- A Partnership with the League of Kansas Municipalities;
- 43 Municipal and Water Utility Partners;
- Over 84,300 Active Water-Related Protection Plans;
- Saved homeowners in your state over $17.1 million in water-related costs since 2017.
Nationally, we have saved customers over $1.1 billion over the past three years.
Testimonials
Partner Testimonial:
“One of the significant selling points for the City Council and staff was the National League of Cities endorsement. NLC did the homework and vetted the program before endorsing it for its member cities. I believe the letter from the City provided a trust factor that is not present through direct solicitation to residents from other warranty companies who send letters that give the appearance of coming from the city. So far the Program has delivered what they said they would to the City of Hutchinson. I would be happy to visit with anyone about the program and our experience here in Hutchinson.” – John Deardoff, City Manager, Hutchinson, KS

Kurt Bookout, Public Utilities Director, El Dorado, KS - SLW of America has done exactly what they claim and we have heard nothing but praise from our citizens for the program. The benefit for our City Sewer Department is fewer call-outs; because the homeowners' failing service lines are finally getting fixed. Local plumbers embraced the program and I have heard nothing but positive comments from them. I whole-heartedly endorse the NLC-USP program and feel it will continue to be a valuable approach to proactively addressing the problem of decaying water and sewer infrastructure.
