🌵☎️ Join us for the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Wind Phone installation at the White Cliffs Trail System South Trailhead!
Designed as a space for reflection, remembrance, and connection, the Wind Phone offers visitors a quiet place to “speak into the wind” while overlooking the scenic desert landscape. The installation was made possible through a partnership with Kingman Main Street and features hand-painted artwork by local artist Emily Halber-Reno inspired by native desert plants. 💛
📅 Friday, June 12
🕙 10:00 a.m.

Light snacks, bottled water, and commemorative stickers will be available. We hope to see you there!

🛑 Keep FOG Out of the Drain! 🛑
We are reminding residents and businesses that fats, oils, and grease (FOG) should never be poured down sinks or drains. While grease may go down as a liquid, it hardens as it cools, creating blockages that can lead to sewer backups, unpleasant odors, overflows, and costly repairs.

A few simple steps can help protect your home and our wastewater system:
✔️ Let grease and cooking oil cool
✔️ Pour cooled grease into a sealed container and place it in the trash
✔️ Wipe pots, pans, and dishes before washing
✔️ Use sink strainers to catch food scraps
Remember: Grease, cooking oil, butter, meat drippings, rice, pasta, coffee grounds, and large amounts of leftover food should never go down drains or garbage disposals.

Working together, we can help prevent sewer problems and protect Kingman's wastewater infrastructure. For more information, call the Wastewater Division at (928) 757-7467. 🚰🏡

🚧 Kingman neighbors, quick heads up for tonight!
Interstate 40 will have a brief overnight closure tonight (June 2) between Stockton Hill Road and Beale Street (mileposts 51–48) while crews conduct rock blasting for the I-40/US 93 West Kingman Interchange Project.

Here’s what to expect:
Starting at 7:00 p.m., traffic will narrow to one lane in each direction.
At 8:00 p.m., crews will temporarily close I-40 for about 30 minutes to an hour so blasting can take place safely.

If you’re traveling, locals may want to consider alternate routes that avoid I-40 if possible. If not, expect some short delays while the work is completed.
🚧 Please use extra caution in the area while crews and equipment are on site.
⏱ All times are approximate and may change depending on weather and site conditions.

🚛 Solid Waste Container Transition Update
The City of Kingman Solid Waste Department is continuing the next phase of replacing shared 300-gallon alley containers with individual 90-gallon residential containers.

The next phase includes:
📍 Beale Street North
📍 9th Street west to Metcalf Road
There is no additional cost for the new container, and trash collection days will remain the same.

🗑️ Reminder:
• Place containers curbside by 6:00 a.m. on collection day
• Keep containers at least 6 feet from vehicles, mailboxes, and gas meters
• Keep lids closed and avoid overfilling

Need to dispose of larger items? Bulk trash pickup is available. Call 928-692-3115 to schedule.
