![]() when confronted by a sheriff’s deputy.Ībout 11:30 p.m. On July 1, according to Tessein, a landscaper refused to quit when asked by Community Watch and finally stopped working about 10:40 p.m. In July, he said landscapers were working in his neighborhood as late as 11:30 p.m. The noise ordinance amendment was prompted by complaints of moonlight landscapers in The Villages from William Tessein of the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter. Regarding dogs, a sheriff’s deputy can refer the case to Sumter County Animal Services if the deputy does not hear the dog. Placed on web January 2003 originally published August 1961.Arnold said the amended ordinance also clarifies enforcement and that violators are subject to law enforcement citations.īesides landscaping, the ordinance also prohibits other specific activities late at night including musical instruments, neighborhood parties and barking or howling dogs. Water from Pleistocene deposits is generally suitable for most uses except in local areas where it contains excessive chloride. Sulfate is common in water from the Wellington Formation and Ninnescah Shale. Irrigation from wells is most extensive in the valley of Arkansas River, in which area further development is most probable.Ĭhemical analyses of samples of water from Sumner County indicate that the quality varies greatly from place to place. Water is pumped from wells for domestic, stock, municipal, industrial, and irrigation use. Water is discharged from the ground-water reservoir by seepage into streams, by transpiration and evaporation, by movement into adjacent areas, and by wells. The ground-water reservoir is recharged principally from rain and snow that fall within the county, by percolation from streams and other surface bodies of water, and by underflow from adjacent areas. Maps of Sumner County included in this report show the outcrop areas of the formations, geologic cross sections, the shape and slope of the water table, the locations of wells and test holes for which records are given, and the distribution of chloride in water samples. Colluvium and dune sand are unimportant as sources of water but may facilitate recharge. Wisconsinan terrace deposits and Recent alluvium along the major streams yield large quantities of water. Discontinuous deposits of Kansan or Illinoisan age, locally mantled by colluvium, forms terraces in southern and eastern Sumner County, and may yield moderate quantities of water. Pleistocene sand and gravel deposits of Nebraskan age are present in the northwestern corner of the county and yield moderate quantities of good water to wells. The Permian rocks yield small quantities of hard water to wells. The Ninnescah Shale (Permian) overlies the Wellington Formation and crops out in parts of the western third of the county. The Wellington Formation, of Permian age, crops out in the eastern two-thirds of the county except where it is covered by Pleistocene deposits. Wheat fanning is the principal industry of the county, and oil is the chief natural resource. The average annual precipitation at Wellington is about 31 inches. ![]() The land surface in general is a southeastward-sloping, gently rolling plain. It is drained by Arkansas River, Ninnescah River, and Chikaskia River and their tributaries. Sumner County has an area of 1,183 square miles and lies in the Wellington Lowland and Arkansas River Lowlands of the Central Lowland physiographic province. Records of 300 wells and 2 springs, chemical analyses of 219 water samples from wells and test holes and of 15 from streams, and logs of 362 wells and test holes are included in tables. ![]() The hydrologic and geologic data upon which this report is based were obtained in the field during the summers of 19. This report describes the geography, geology, and ground-water resources of Sumner County in south-central Kansas.
