Due to the state of emergency declared the City of Rich Hill is cancelling the Special Board Meeting scheduled 3/18/2020. Notice will be posted in City Hall and on website upon re-scheduling.
Due to the state of emergency declared by Governor Parson as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic, and because hand washing, proper cleaning, and staying home are of the utmost importance in preventing further spread of the virus, the City of Rich Hill is currently taking the following action with regards to utilities:
The City will not disconnect any utility services from unpaid utility bills until April 20th.
All utility bills will eventually become due, and the City may begin to disconnect services after April 20th if appropriate payment arrangements, which will be outlined later, have not been made. Please contact City Hall at (417) 395-2223 with any questions.
