URGENT NOTICE: The City of New Madrid and Municipal Light & Power ARE NOT using an outside agency to contact our residents to pay utility bills. A resident here in town just alerted our office of a call from someone claiming to be working with us, threatening to turn utilities off if payment is not immediately made. THIS IS A SCAM.

Jennifer S. Newton, 47, was sentenced March 4 to six months in prison on each of two counts of wire fraud by United States District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr. The sentences are to be served concurrently https://standard-democrat.com/story/2870328.html

REMINDER: If you need to report an issue to us, the best way is to call city hall (748-2866). By doing so, a work order can be immediately created and attended to when time allows. Texting or tagging (on social media) a city employee/alderman is less effective and not a preferred method.

City transit is now open.

Transit is temporarily closed due to COVID-19. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Yesterday, unfortunately, marked high marks locally during the COVID-19 pandemic. The county reached its highest one-day total of positive cases as well as the highest overall number of current positive cases. We strongly urge everyone to wear a mask and socially distance during this time. Hospitals in Sikeston and Cape are overwhelmed with cases, and local residents are having to go much further away for treatment/hospitalizations.

We celebrate and give thanks to those who have served

City Hall will be closed November 11th in honor of Veteran's Day.
