Power reported restored in western part of town
All of Westar Energy customers in west Lawrence and northwest of Lawrence have power restored.
The coverage area affected in Lawrence, serving 1,350 residents, was from the South Lawrence Trafficway to Stone Meadows Drive and Harvard to 18th Street. A rural district northwest of Lawrence toward Lecompton was also affected.
A Westar Energy spokeswoman said there was a broken crossbar that contributed to the power failure in west Lawrence.
