Blackout postponed

Worried about Marion’s citywide blackout scheduled for Wednesday night and Thursday morning? Don’t be.

Below-freezing temperatures have prompted Evergy to reschedule the blackout.

A new date has not been announced.

“Evergy apologizes for the inconvenience and appreciates your patience and understanding,” an alert from the city said Monday. “Please pass the word along to your friends and neighbors.”

The blackout had been set to begin at 11 p.m. Wednesday and last until 5 a.m. Thursday.

More about postponement of the blackout will appear in the upcoming issue of the Marion County Record.
