July Festivities

Join us at Kingsburg HS on Sunday, July 3, from 6pm to 10pm as the Chamber of Commerce will host the Independence Celebration! Come by to enjoy local vendors, local food, and most importantly fireworks! We still need more volunteers to make all of the magic happen. If you or someone you know would want to help support the community please contact the Chamber of Commerce at 559-897-1111.

A reminder that only "safe and sane" fireworks are allowed to be set off in California.  These fireworks remain on the ground - any other types are illegal. 
Water Conservation

The City of Kingsburg would like to remind you of the City's updated water conservation policies.  The summer months are historically the highest consumption months, given increased outdoor watering to combat the heat.  For example:
  • 2013: June - 161.8 million gallons; July - 170.1 million gallons
  • 2014: June - 136.3 million gallons; July - 141.6 million gallons
  • 2015: June - 101.9 million gallons; July - 104.4 million gallons

Keep up the great work Kingsburg!   

Online Billing 
 
As many of you have noticed, the City has updated the utility payment system and those of you who had previously set up online payment plans no longer have an active account.  To continue with an online account, customers are asked to take a few minutes to setup a new account
Along with the auto-pay feature, residents can check historical consumption data and more!  
Home Improvement 
 
We all notice the few things around the house that we can fix up, improve, or add, but some projects may require a pemrit. When are they required? Permits are required in order to ensure the work is done correctly for the safety of you and your family. 

Before you start your next big home improvement project take a look at the Building Department's page on the City website, or give them a call at (559) 897-5328.
Who Let the Dogs Out?!

  

With the soon approaching festivities be sure to keep an eye on your pet. The firework season serves as the busiest times for loose animals.  Many pets are frightened by the loud noises.  There are some steps you can take to keep your pets safe.   

This Week in History

On June 30, 1936, Margaret Mitchell published her best-selling novel, which later became a blockbuster movie, Gone With the Wind. It all started after Mitchell was forced to retire from her journalist position with the Atlanta Journal after a series of physical injuries. She had quite a lot of time on her hands and with a natural passion for writing along with a brand new typewriter she sat down at her desk one day and began writing about an Atlanta woman named Pansy O'Hara. The book would end up selling millions of copies world-wide and winning a Pulitzer Prize. All of this however did not come without some criticism. The book romanticized the Old South and all that it was, but the tale of war and passion captured the minds of readers everywhere. In 1937, a year after the book was published, Mitchell sold the movie rights to her book for a record high $50,000.
