As of late Tuesday afternoon there were just over 70 power outages remaining in Junction City, with approximately 30 personnel working to make repairs following the ice storm this past weekend.

Company spokesperson Jaycee Breese said Westar swelled their forces to deal with the storm.

Breese estimated service would be restored to all customers that can accept service by Tuesday evening.  The number Tuesday afternoon was actually higher than the total reported earlier following some sporadic outages.
