News and Announcements

Recycling Routes

The City changed recycling routes at the beginning of 2021. The routes are run every other Thursday rather than on fixed days of the month. Click on the calendar to the left to see when your recycling and trash are picked up. If you have any questions please contact City Hall at 947-3162.

Check out the maps to find your route color.

2020 Consumer Confidence Report

The Kansas Department of Transportation has released the City’s 2020 Consumer Confidence Report for the public drinking water system. The annual report provides information on the quality of the water customers receive and the content of certain common elements in the water. If you have questions about the surcharge please call City Hall at 620-947-3162.

Electric Surcharge

Starting on June 2021 electric bills, customers will see a $.01 per kWh surcharge on electrical consumption. The surcharge is a passthrough from the city’s electric wholesale provider. The charge will be in effect for approximately 24 months. The surcharge is a result of the February 2021 severe weather that caused energy prices to spike to record levels. If you have questions about the surcharge please call City Hall at 620-947-3162.

Utility Deposit Credits

The City changed policy on Utility Deposits, going from a refundable deposit to a flat fee. Customers that had utility deposits on file with the city will receive those back in the form of billing credit starting on the June 2021 bills. If you have a credit on your bill for June and have questions please call City Hall at 620-947-3162.

Credit Card Changes

Starting on July 1, 2021 utility customers will no longer be able to call in to use a credit card for payment. The city has changed its practice for data security reasons. Credit card payments are still accepted through FrontDesk and in person in City offices. Customers can still pay with cash, check or credit card in person. Cash and check are accepted by mail or in the City Hall drop box.

City Recycling Routes

In January 2021 the city changed its recycling pickup schedule. Rather than picking up on the set weeks, recycling is picked up ever other week. The route map was included in customer bills and can also be downloaded by clicking below.
