Big changes in Rose Hill!

Our City Administrator, Warren Porter, officially retired on Friday, May 29th. Over the past six and a half years, Warren has been a dedicated leader, always making sure the voices of our citizens were heard and their concerns addressed. His positive impact on the community and City staff will be missed. We wish him all the best as he enjoys his well-earned retirement!

Starting June 1st, Mark Detter will step into the role of City Administrator. Mark brings extensive administrative experience from several cities, including a previous tenure in Rose Hill. We are excited to welcome Mark back and look forward to the new chapter ahead!

Dear Rose Hill residents,
Rose Hill schools are developing a Safe Routes to School plan. With your input, the plan will recommend ways to make walking and biking to school easier, safer, and more comfortable for students and families. The Wichita Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WAMPO) will use this information to recommend programs, infrastructure projects, and other potential safety improvements.
If you have a student attending a Rose Hill school, please take 5 minutes to complete the survey and help us create a better plan!

Good afternoon Rose Hill-
City Hall has recently performed updates to the phone system. We've had several customers who stated they couldn't reach us using 316-776-2720. This number will give an error message. Please be advised, the number to reach City Hall is 316-776-2712. This number hasn't changed in many years and is the primary number for City Hall. If you have Rose Hill City Hall saved in your phone, you may want to verify the phone number.
As a reminder, we recommend making utility payments in person, by utilizing the drop box/USPS, or online.

Good afternoon Rose Hill!
As summer approaches, mowing season begins.
We wanted to take a moment to remind residents to be careful while mowing around water meters. When an individual hits or runs over a meter, blunt force trauma can occur causing the meter to break. Replacement meter parts could cost the resident between $50 to $275.
Attached to this post, you will find photos with a brief description of few of the working pieces. These items are vital for correct billing.
If you do happen to have an occurrence, please call City Hall and we will be happy to have an employee check your meter.
