HAVEN, Kan. — Evergy crews restored power to the north end of Haven after a transformer blew and caused a fire on one of their poles.
Haven-Buhler Road was closed at Red Rock Road to let the Evergy crews work during the outage that happened in the 7 a.m hour Tuesday.
At its peak, the outage involved 53 customers outside the city, but the City of Haven posted on social media that the town also had to be shut off completely until they could come out and isolate the problem.
Power was back on to the north end of town in time for Haven High School students to attend classes without a delay.
There was still a road closure until shortly after noon Tuesday for Red Rock Road between Haven Road and Willison Road and Haven Road between Long View Road and Greenfield Road until the lines that were down in the area were fixed. The outage map showed no more outage as of 12:20 p.m. Tuesday.
