As soon as the weather cooperates, Moundridge city employees will begin erecting telephone poles that are part a $5.2 million electrical upgrade. City Administrator Murray McGee said the city would be erecting 35 power poles to tie into an Evergy substation 3.5 miles south of town. The transmission lines will connect the city’s substation on East Hoch Street to the Evergy substation at the junction of South Cole Street and Old Highway 81. The city currently gets its electricity off the McPherson power grid. After the project is complete, it will receive power from the Kansas Municipal Energy Agency, which is renting space from Evergy.
