Consumer Confidence Report (CCR)
During the first two quarter of 2023, the City of Highland
had Nitrate violation of the drinking water regulations. The
city’s water treatment plant began operations near the
conclusion of the second quarter and since that time the
city has had no violations of the drinking water
regulations. During the non-compliance period, January 1,
2023 – June 30, 2023, the nitrate in drinking water at
levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less
than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking
water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise
quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or
agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant, you
should ask for advice from your health care provider. There
are no additional required health effects violation
notices. Because of the sampling schedules, some of the
results are more than one-year-old. The Consumer Confidence
Report is available directly online by clicking
here or anytime during
business hours, you may pick up a hard copy at city hall.

Help Prevent Sewer Backups
Everyone can contribute to the
success of sewer lines flowing freely whether it is in your
home, business, apartment or public places. Only two items
are flushable – human waste and toilet paper. All other
items are to be disposed of in the trash. “Disposable” or
“flushable” wipes are not to be flushed as they do not break
down like toilet paper and can clog the home’s plumbing
system and/or the city’s sewage pumps. F.O.G. (Fats, Oils
and Grease) also contribute to clogged sewer pipes. All
grease and grease products should be disposed of in the
trash. City Emergency numbers: City Hall (785) 442-3765,
Aaron Leach (785) 741-1131 or Trevor Saunders (785) 741-4919

Highland Parking Ordinance
The City of Highland, effective as of June 29, 2017,
established new restrictions concerning parking of certain
types of vehicles, trailers and agricultural equipment on
city streets. Ordinance #538 was adopted by the governing
body in response to many discussions and complaints made
through the years concerning safety issues, specifically,
such parking causing difficulty in seeing around the parked
equipment and blocking safe passage in the adjacent
roadway. Additionally, it was felt that heavy equipment,
including semi-trucks and semi-trailers, was causing
permanent damage to city streets. The complete terms of
Ordinance #538 can be reviewed at city hall or by visiting
the city’s website at www.highlandks.com .
In brief summary, the ordinance disallows parking of the
following on any street within the corporate city limits:
semis, semi-trailers, gooseneck and box trailers, commercial
motor vehicles, farm tractors and implements, RVs, and
school busses. Exceptions are allowed for temporary
parking to frequent a retail business, delivery vehicles and
vehicle repair businesses.
The governing body is looking
forward to citizens and the travelling public voluntarily
complying with the new law. If anyone has a question
concerning interpretation of the ordinance, or how it may
apply in any given situation, they are encouraged to contact
the police department or office of the city attorney.
