🚰💦 HYDRANT FLUSHING 💦🚰

Over the next few weeks, the City Crew will be flushing fire hydrants throughout town on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings.

The Crew is currently working on the north side of town and will move to the south side in the next couple of weeks.

💧 What should you expect?
During and shortly after hydrant flushing, you may notice temporary discoloration or a slight brown tint to your water. This is normal and occurs when sediment in the water lines is stirred up during the flushing process.

There may also be a temporary decrease in water pressure or flow while a nearby hydrant is being flushed. Water pressure should return to normal once flushing is complete.

While the discoloration may be unsightly, it does not indicate that the water is unsafe to use. However, you may prefer to avoid using discolored water for cooking, drinking, or laundry until the water has cleared.

If you notice discoloration, simply run your cold water for a few minutes to help clear the line.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our City Crew completes this important annual maintenance to help keep our water system and fire hydrants functioning properly! 💙

The Governing Body of the City of Oxford will meet on August 25, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 115 S.

These hearings will be conducted jointly.

The City's Revenue Neutral Rate is 45.267 mills, and the City is proposing a 2027 tax rate of 50.475 mills. The purpose of the Revenue Neutral Rate hearing is to provide taxpayers an opportunity to present oral testimony regarding the City's proposed intent to exceed the Revenue Neutral Rate.

The purpose of the 2027 Budget hearing is to hear and answer objections of taxpayers relating to the proposed use of all funds and the amount of ad valorem tax proposed to finance the 2027 budget.

Detailed budget information is available for public inspection at City Hall, 115 S. Sumner St., Oxford, KS 67119, and will be available at the hearing.

The proposed 2027 budget expenditures and the amount of ad valorem tax establish the maximum limits of the 2027 budget. The final tax rate is subject to change depending upon the final assessed valuation certified by Sumner County.

The attached document is the proposed 2027 Budget Summary, showing the proposed expenditures and amount of ad valorem tax.
