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.

How it all began...


History of Oxford

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.
