⚡️ Power Restored ⚡️
All power should now be restored.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while our crew worked to resolve the issue.
— City of Lakin
Our crew is still on-site and actively working to resolve the issue. Thank you for your continued patience as we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
⚡️ Power Outage Update ⚡️ The City of Lakin is aware of the current power outage affecting parts of our community. The issue is related to Feeder 3.

💡 Did You Know? 💡
The K-25 Main Street Project (Santa Fe Ave → Washington Ave) is already in the works! This pavement restoration project received funding through KDOT’s City Connecting Link Improvement Program (CCLIP) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation.
👷♂️ What’s happening now?
The project is on hold while we wait for approvals from KDOT and BNSF. The railroad can’t issue permits until a contractor is named, and the state can’t assign a contractor until permits are finalized.
✅ What this means for Lakin:
Safer, stronger roads and investment directly into our community’s future.
Stay tuned for updates as progress moves forward!
