City asks residents to conserve power during sub-station repairs

John Hehnke, Sidney’s Public Services Director, informed the council members that repairs to the south sub power station will be made from May 29 through June 2.

The south sub-station will be completely down for those days.

During that time all Sidney residents will be asked to conserve electricity.

The repairs must be completed before summer hits its stride or a transformer could be completely lost due to a gas build-up issue. The community cannot be supported by one sub-station through the heat of summer, so it is imperative that the repairs are made before June.

More information will be passed along to the community as the time for repairs approaches.
