A mid day outage in Ottawa was caused by a power surge from Kansas City Power and Light after a lightning arrestor failed at a KCP&L substation near Baldwin City. City crews faced issues with an air compressor leak and a line problem while KCP&L noted the problem cleared quickly. About 900 KCP&L direct customers in Douglas County lost power for roughly 24 minutes. Ottawa kept some areas energized with its own generators. Most areas were restored within 20 to 30 minutes with no major incidents or emergencies reported.

He earned a teaching degree at Ottawa University and a master’s in administration from Pittsburg State.

Kansas Gas Service serves about 642,000 customers in 341 communities.
