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

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!

Oxford’s history really began in 1869, when the Osage Indians camped near the large cottonwood ford which winds along the Ninnescah River and dumps into the Arkansas River. Chief Napawalla first gave Oxford its name. When the Treaty of 1870 was signed, the Osage Tribe moved from the area and left thousands of acres of the town “Napawalla” to be purchased by settlers.
