Three months ago, some street lights in Wichita began turning purple. Since then, Evergy said they have been working on addressing the issue. “Right now there are about 1500 lights in the Wichita area that need to be replaced,” said Andrew Baker, an Evergy Spokesperson. That initial 1500 may just be scratching the surface. “As the lights age, additional failures are anticipated,” Baker said. A component within the light fixture is prematurely failing and only time will tell how many lights are truly impacted.
