06/05/2013

(KAIR) -- Around six thousand Westar Energy customers in Atchison County were in the dark for around a half an hour Wednesday morning following a power outage.

According to Westar Spokesperson Shane Batchelder, the outage was reported shortly before 9:50 a.m., and largely affected customers in the northeast portion of the city of Atchison.

Batchelder says power was restored to most customers by 10:20.

He says the outage is being attributed to an equipment malfunction.
