Important Storm Recovery Update – City of Oxford

Following the recent storms, please be aware of the following important updates and safety reminders:

• Tree and Limb Cleanup: The City of Oxford Maintenance Crew will not be picking up fallen limbs or trees around town. Homeowners are responsible for any storm debris on their property, including in alleys, streets, and even neighboring yards. We encourage everyone to come together—reach out to friends and neighbors to assist with cleanup efforts!

• Burn Site Access: The burn site will be open today through Saturday. Please use caution—the site is currently muddy. The City will not be able to assist with pulling out stuck vehicles. If conditions seem too wet, consider waiting a day or two for things to dry out.

• Power Update: We are still running on generators while Evergy works to replace the damaged power lines in the creek area west of town. If you experience drops in voltage, it may be due to this ongoing repair work.

• To Report Power Issues: Please contact the City Office at 620-455-2223 to report outages or issues.

• Cave Park & River Safety: The river is currently up over the dock at Cave Park, and a large tree remains down in the park. Residents are urged to use extreme caution in this area. Do not drive through water on the low road if the river rises further.
  The City is actively monitoring river levels and will close the road if necessary later today for public safety.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we recover from the storms. Stay safe and look out for one another!
