Rossville Part Of Westar Experiment

    Rossville appears to be part of a new experiment where electricity users get the "privilege" of paying for their electricity usage in advance.

   The plan approved Thursday by the KCC is is a pilot project and at the start will be limited to 1,000 customers.  Prepay will be available in parts of Wichita, along with the towns of Lawrence, Silver Lake and Rossville.   The prepay service will only be offered in locations where the older clock-face-dial meters have been replaced with digital meters.

A video and FAQ for the program can be found at WestarEnergy.com/payg.
