The tree limb disposal site is again open.
Waste Connections informed the City this afternoon that they were unable to serve approximately 45 residences today on the Southeast side of Kingman (south of the River) today due to full trucks. Therefore, they will be servicing the missed area tomorrow morning before starting their normal Wednesday route service. If you live in this area, please leave your trash out for an early Wednesday pickup.
The City received the following message from Waste Connections regarding today's trash pickups:
"I was just told that our trash driver couldn’t pick up 45 homes today due to the truck was full. It is area south of the railroad tracks. He will clean that all up tomorrow before starting his Wednesday route.
If anyone calls in, can you please tell them to leave their cart out at the curb, and we will be back first thing in the morning.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding."

🚧 Big News for Kingman! 🚧
The City of Kingman was notified today that it has been awarded a $1.5 million grant from KDOT to continue the reconstruction of U.S. Highway 54! This latest funding will support improvements from Broadway to just east of Douglas. This will continue progress to be made through two prior KDOT grants totaling $2.25 million for upcoming U.S. Highway 54 reconstruction from Main to Broadway.
This is the third KDOT grant awarded to Kingman for U.S. 54 reconstruction — and with the City responsible for only 5% in matching funds, it’s a major win for our community’s infrastructure and budget. 🛣️💰
This is just another example of City staff working to find grant money for projects. Thank you to KDOT for helping to keep Kingman A Great Place to Land!

The fireworks season is upon us as a community. We wanted to make sure everyone understood the local rules that govern fireworks in the city limits with the changes that occurred in state legislation this year. These ordinances are included in this post. In summary, legal fireworks (those purchased from fireworks stands) can be discharged from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. (midnight) from June 27 to July 4. However, one may possess legal fireworks year round now, but the discharge dates and times are unchanged.
Everyone please be safe with fireworks and be sure children are properly supervised when fireworks are being discharged!
The big party on Sherman will kick off at 6 p.m. Preparations are underway. The live music and food trucks are ready for the crowds!
This snake would like to apologize for the power disruption last night at the tie line substation.

That very loud clap of thunder on Saturday was our water tower taking a direct lightning strike. It did a number on the tower's electrical system, but City staff had an immediate response to keep the tower functioning and water flowing. Initial repairs were done with more still needed. Many thanks to our staff members for their hard work on their day "off."
In observance of Juneteenth, City offices and General Public Transportation will be closed Thursday, June 19, 2025.
Many thanks to the Kingman High School Football Team for moving three pallets of donated toys for our Childcare Zones Grant through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment!
