An increased squirrel population, combined with older infrastructure, has led to a spate of power outages and interruptions in Winfield. City employees have been dealing with problems caused by the critters on a main electrical circuit, which covers an area roughly from Ninth to 19th avenues and from Andrews to Mound streets, according to a post Friday on the city’s Facebook page. The city is trying to alleviate the problem by identifying areas of the circuit that are having the most issues with squirrels so they can make changes to the infrastructure.
