This Week in History
On September 16, 1932, in his cell at Yerovda Jail near Bombay, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi begins a hunger strike in protest of the British government's decision to separate India's electoral system by caste. His six-day fast ended after the British government accepted the principal terms of a settlement. He continued to resort to the hunger strike as a method of resistance, knowing the British government would not be able to withstand the pressure of the public's concern for the man they called Mahatma, or "Great Soul." On January 30, less than two weeks after breaking his final fast, he was assassinated by a Hindu extremist on his way to an evening prayer meeting.

Here to Help    

We've had several inquires regarding reading your water bill, understanding usage, and the fines related to the City's water conservation efforts.

To help answer these questions, we've created a Frequently Asked Questions document for your review. 

Please, if you have questions, are confused, or just want to clarify - contact City Hall.  Our staff  is happy to help walk you through any part of your bill, as well as through our current policies.  We're here to serve the residents, and we want you to be confident in the service you're being provided.   

A Full Moon  

The Kingsburg District Chamber of Commerce invites you to the annual Harvest Moon Music Festival on the evening of September 26.  There will be a number of great events, including:
  • Live music
  • Famous Fresno Food Trucks
  • Crayfish Chowder 
  • Craft vendors
  • Movie Downtown (Monster House @8pm)

Head down to Draper Street for all the fun! The evening begins at 4pm and runs until 11pm.  
Work Continues 
Construction is ongoing on a number of projects, with several more getting ready to begin.  Current work includes:
  • Train Depot Rehab:  Final touches are being put on the building, which has received a total overhaul through the assistance of a federal grant. 
  • Marion Villas:  The mixed-use Senior Living Complex is nearing completion and final State approvals are scheduled.  Residents will be moving in over the coming weeks.
  • Tract 5609 (subdivision on Academy/Kamm): Lots are being sold and eight homes have been permitted for building.  A total of 46 single family homes will be in the gated subdivision.
  • Crestwood/Valley Health Team:  Rehab to the old Kingsburg Hospital continues, with Valley Health Team occupying the old administration building.  Both are expecting to open in late 2015.  
  • 10th Ave Reconstruction (Sierra to Stroud):  Contract is out to bid with work expected to begin in October.
Questions regarding these projects can be directed to the City's engineer, Dave Peters.
New Recruits 
Wednesday evening was a busy night for new recruits!  The Kingsburg City Council swore in 13 new Fire Department Reserves and 3 new Police Department Reserves. 

After their training is completed, these individuals help to serve the community in many of the same ways that regular full time employees contribute.  With their help, we're able to improve the services offered to all Kingsburg residents. 
Bring That Here 
Don't forget there are a number of ways to properly dispose of those items that can't be thrown in the trash.
  • Rx Drugs - Kingsburg Police Dept.
  • Sharps - Kmart Pharmacy
  • LED bulbs - City Hall
  • Florescent bulbs - City Hall
  • Batteries - City Hall

Remember - all of these locations take the items FREE of charge!
