Hamburg is a city in and the county seat of Ashley County, Arkansas, United States. The population was 2,536 at the 2020 census. The population declined by more than 10% between 2010 and 2020, resulting in a lower tax base for the region. It is the home town of NBA player Scottie Pippen. The City of Hamburg crest has a picture of a gazebo, trees, cotton, and antelope.
The city requires residents to pay a $30 reconnect fee in order to restore water service if it is shut off. Water service is only be restored during the hours of 8:00am and 4:30pm. People may pay an additional $60, a 200% surcharge, to have water service restored after hours. In 2024 the City of Hamburg also decided to begin enforcing customers of the city water service to have shut off valves. The 2023 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for Hamburg Water Department found lead and copper in the city's water supply, though not at levels to cause concern.
