Evergy crews work on Hiawatha area outage ( Credit: MSC News)
(KNZA)--About two-thousand Evergy customers in the Hiawatha area were without power for a large part of Wednesday.
The outage was reported around 10:30 Wednesday morning.
An Evergy spokeswoman told MSC News the outage occurred after a pole containing a transmission line that feeds two sub-stations caught fire.
She said the pole's proximity to one of the sub-stations made it difficult for crews to restore power before repairs were made.
Crews worked through the day to restore power.
Power was not restored to all customers until about 1:30 Thursday morning.
