Newton adjusts operations in response to COVID-19 cases

Because of a recent increase in local COVID-19 cases, the city of Newton made some operational changes beginning Monday, July 6. That rise included a single-day increase of eight cases last week — the largest individual day on record for Harvey County. Newton City Hall remains open to the public, but residents are encouraged to pay bills and do other business online or over the phone to limit in-person exposures. Visitors to City Hall are encouraged to wear face masks when social distancing is not possible. The Newton City Service Center will be closed to the public. Requests for service should be called in to 316-284-6070 or submitted online at newtonkansas.com.
