⚡ Community Update: Lightning Strikes, Crew Responds! ⚡

Sometimes Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes—and this morning she packed quite a punch! Lightning struck a surge arrestor east of town on 11th Road, and the surge made its way through to the transformer, leaving our Utility Crew with a sparky surprise to tackle today.

But have no fear—our hardworking crew is already on the scene replacing the damaged transformer and working diligently to restore full service. We’re proud of their quick response and dedication, especially when unpredictable Kansas weather decides to put on a show.

We’ll keep everyone updated if any service interruptions occur, but in the meantime, let’s give a big shout-out to our Utility Crew for braving the elements and keeping Oxford powered up. 🌩️🔧💡

💧👷‍♂️ Temporary Water Discoloration 👷‍♂️💧

The City of Oxford would like to let residents know that Mayer Specialty Services recently performed maintenance on several sewer lines in town. As part of their work, they needed to fill equipment from a nearby fire hydrant.

This process can cause a temporary brown tint in the water for some residents. The discoloration is due to the high water pressure stirring up natural sediment in the water lines. While it may look unsightly, the water is safe to use and should clear within a few hours.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we complete these important maintenance projects for our community.

On Saturday, July 26th, the Oxford Police Department hosted our 1st Annual Community Night Out, and what a night it was! We were thrilled to be joined by the Oxford First Responders, Sumner Rural Fire District #3, and the Sumner County Sheriff's Department.

The evening was filled with fun for the whole family — temporary tattoos, s’mores, free drinks courtesy of Bank of Commerce, and awesome tunes from DJ Stan! 🎶

But the real highlight? Watching the kids laugh and play as they got sprayed down by the fire truck 🚒💦 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and to all those who helped make this night a success. We’re already looking forward to next year!

The City of Oxford proudly congratulates School Resource Officer and Master Patrolman Jerry Perry on completing the Advanced School Resource Officer Training in Hutchinson, Kansas, June 11–13. The training was hosted by the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center and provided in-depth instruction on school safety practices, student communication, and crisis response.

Officer Perry has long been a familiar and trusted presence in our schools. Whether helping with morning drop-off, supporting school events, or offering guidance to students, he brings both professionalism and compassion to his role. His commitment to pursuing continued training ensures Oxford’s students and staff are protected by the very best.

“It has been an honor to serve as the Oxford 358 SRO,” said Officer Perry. “I am looking forward to the new school year and continuing to build connections with students and staff to maintain a safe and positive learning environment. It’s a great day to be a Wildcat!”  🐾

We’re grateful for Officer Perry’s dedication to our youth and his unwavering service to the Oxford community.
