The Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority has instructed Pawhuska to start some rolling blackouts across its area to help conserve power.

The City will shut down the Lynn Addition at 9:30 a.m. for an hour and Dial Hill will then be shut down at 10:30 a.m.

City Manager Tonya Bright hopes that is all they will have to do, but more drastic measures may have to be taken.

In addition to the blackouts, the city cannot get its garbage trucks to start.

Bright says other actions will be taken to get some of the trash picked up.
