The City of Oxford would like to remind residents that all door-to-door solicitors are required by city ordinance to obtain a Solicitor’s Permit from the City Office before conducting any sales or promotions within city limits.

If someone comes to your home attempting to sell a product or service, please ask to see their City-issued permit. Legitimate solicitors will have this permit on hand and will show it upon request.

If the individual does not have a permit, or refuses to show one, please call 911 (non-emergency) to request an officer to be dispatched. This helps ensure the safety of our community and protects residents from potential scams.

For your safety, do not provide any personal information—including your name, phone number, or financial details—until you have confirmed the person is properly permitted.

If you have any questions about solicitor permits or would like to verify whether a solicitor is registered, please contact the City Office during regular business hours.

This afternoon, our Utility Crew will be replacing an electric line in the 600 block of North Sumner and North Kansas. While the work is underway, residents in this area will experience a temporary power outage. We know outages are inconvenient, and we appreciate your patience as the Utility Crew works to keep Oxford’s electric system safe and reliable. ⚡️🔌💡🛠️👷‍♂️

Our awesome City Utility Crew is out this morning upgrading a fire hydrant on South Sumner! 🧑‍🔧🚒

To get the job done safely, we’ll need to temporarily shut off water to folks south of Pine St and along Oxford Rd (south of town). But no worries — the outage should be super short ⏱️ while we install the shiny new hydrant! ✨🚰

Have questions? Give us a call at 📞 620-455-2223 — we’re happy to help!

Thanks for your patience and understanding! 💙💧
