More than 2,300 west Wichita residents were without power Wednesday afternoon.
Westar Energy tells us it was caused by an equipment failure at a substation. The utility does not expect the outage to last long.
One of the effects is the traffic light at Central & Ridge which is not currently working. Most of the outages are near I-235 and Kellogg.
