Power slowly being restored to Lawrence

Thirty-two Westar Energy crews continue to work in Lawrence today to restore power to more than a thousand homes.

1,100 homes in North Lawrence, Southwest Lawrence and parts of the KU campus are still without electricity, but Westar representative Karla Olsen reports KU’s power is “pretty much back on.”

Olsen expects to have power restored to the vast majority of these homes by tonight, but says a few spots could remain without power into Tuesday.
