Earlier this year Evergy discovered many streetlights were turning purple due to a faulty subcomponent causing the light to fail. Andrew Baker, a spokesperson for Evergy, said identifying and replacing these lights has been quite an undertaking, but the company is finally making progress. “We’ve identified just under 4,000 lights in the Wichita area that were putting out this blue-purple light,” said Baker. It’s a big number, but he knows it may not be the final count.
