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!
Your eyes do not deceive you! The pictures are in fact of a Budweiser Truck parked outside of the Kingman Fire Station. And yes, that is a pallet of cans off of the Budweiser truck. However, those cans are full of water. Special thanks to Anheuser-Busch and the National Volunteer Fire Council for their generous donation of a pallet of clean drinking water for our fire department, which will be shared with our county partners. The 2,352 cans of water will help our firefighters stay hydrated when it's needed the most!

We are happy to say that the resident that dumped the privacy fence in the tree limb pile was found and removed the fencing material from the pile. As a result, the dump area for branches is back open.
Due to contamination, we have unfortunately been forced to close the tree limb dump site west of the shooting range.
