The first municipally owned light and power plant in Wamego was constructed in 1905. Prior to that time electricity was furnished by a privately-owned plant. By constant improvement and enlarging of the municipal plant throughout the years, the City of Wamego offers services equal to the ever increasing demands for electrical power. The Wamego municipal water system was originally constructed in 1898. At that time there was installed a 60,000 gallon stand pipe, a quantity of small diameter pipe and a sufficient number of fire hydrants.
