Affects areas east of Main Street that had low pressure today, we're told.
EDITED: BOIL ORDER HAS BEEN LIFTED!
BOIL ORDER EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
This morning a contractor broke a water Main in your area resulting in the city having to issue a boil order. This boil order will remain in effect for 48 hours depending on results of water tests. This means that a boil order will be in effect in your area until May 20th. If you lost or had low water pressure today, this only affects you. It does not include everyone in the city. We apologize for any inconvenience and will notify our citizens when the boil order is lifted.

Summer school has never been more important than right now. I realize that many of you typically don’t send your children to summer school, but this year, I’m asking you to seriously consider it. Our teachers are busy preparing a very targeted summer school experience. We’re planning to focus our attention on the learning that was interrupted due to the COVID-19 school closure.
Paper copies of our summer school enrollment forms are being distributed this week through our meal delivery locations. They’ll also be available on Wednesday, May 13th as students pick up their belongings. Links to enroll online are available below in the comments.
Our final decision on the type of summer school hasn’t been made, yet. We’re keeping in touch with the Newton County Health Department as we make our plans. We have the decision narrowed down to two options: traditional seated summer school and blended summer school. As soon as a final decision is made, we will be reaching out to everyone in the district. Thank you for patience as we work to make the best decision for our community.

OMG..there are deep holes everywhere else and they bump the whole.load in one spot and then don't roll it? It is seriously like driving down a railroad track. Shakes your teeth lose! What is it doing to my car? We really do need more attention to what is being done in our county. Seems like all of our taxes are going to the cities. Can we just stop paying taxes if we are county folks..just asking..

Great front page article on the resignation of Granby’s mayor, Travis Gamble. Having a front row seat and knowing the literal dire straits the city was in, I am thankful for his leadership and willingness to sometimes bully his way through age-old mindsets and bad habits that had gotten the city in the mess it was in. I’m proud to have worked with him.
I am doing an assignment on resources located in Newton County. I was wondering if anybody knew of any resources in Newton County available to help either the homeless or disabled population?
Could someone from your organization possibly attend the MO Bicentennial organization meeting Feb 13th at 1pm at the library in Neosho? We need support from groups. We need contacts. We need to get the word out. We need you! The MO Historical Society is sponsoring several contests in conjunction with the celebration, but some of the deadlines are THIS fall, like the quilt block contest, photo and writing competitions. We were hoping people from Newton County would provide these things rather than some fancy pants photographer from Timbuktu or some quilter who has never even been to Newton County. Each county only gets ONE block in the quilt which will be on display in the capitol. Michael Sweeney from the MO Historical Society will speak. Please come and bring all your friends! Spread the word. Thanks! See details at
