    KDHE Notifications


    Oxford News

    Earlier this year the City of Oxford by direction of The State of Kansas sent out surveys to all the residents that have water service lines with the City of Oxford.  To stay in compliance with KDHE guidelines we are now sending out brochures based off the answers we recieved on those surveys.  If you recieve one of these brouchures they are just a information pamphlet and it DOES NOT mean that you have Lead exposure in your water.  The City of Oxford does do testing for lead and we have NEVER had a test come back positive for Lead.  

    Budget Billing Update

    Budget Billing

    In an effort to help residents have bills that are budget friendly, we want to share with you that software upgrades have made our Budget Billing more accurate to your average yearly bill.  In years past the budget billing only accounted for usage not your entire bill so it wasn’t as precise as it is now. We can give you a figure for 2025 if you want to look into this as an option for your Utility Bill.  There are rules and regulations you must follow and requirements you must meet in order to be eligible.  Please call and talk to Sarah or come by the City Office to find out more!
