Fallen tree causes power outage in southwest Topeka

TOPEKA (KSNT) – Residents and businesses in a part of southwest Topeka are without power on Tuesday amid a power outage.

Evergy is reporting that around 1,700 of its customers are out of power as of 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 21 in an area in southwest Topeka. This area includes homes and businesses near Southwest Fairlawn Road and Southwest 21st Street.

A majority of those impacted by the outage have had their power restored. Evergy reports power should be turned back on for the remainder of the area by 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 21.
