CITY OF RUSSELL

UPDATE AT 3:50 P.M.: All repairs have been made to the damaged substation. The system operating as normal. Thank you for your patience.

The Russell / Sunflower substation experienced a failure early Wednesday morning.

With severe weather forecast for Friday, Oct. 6, repairs are a priority to be completed before the forecast storm’s arrival.

Those repairs are scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon. During the repairs power may be out for up to one hour. Due to the nature of the repairs needed, it is too dangerous to make repairs with the substation energized.

Please make necessary arrangements and we thank you for your patience while we make the necessary repairs safely.
