Starting June 2, 2025, Wheat Belt Public Power District will begin a pilot program transitioning to a 4-day work week. Our new office hours will be 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with our office closed on Fridays.

This change will run through October 31, 2025, and will give our customers extended hours during the days we are open to make payments, get assistance with their accounts or have our crews respond to issues in the field.  This schedule is designed to enhance employee well-being, improve attendance and retention, and ultimately increase productivity. We believe this adjustment will benefit both our team and our customers, allowing us to provide even better service.

As part of this new schedule, our extended workdays will give our crews more sunlight hours on work sites. This means less drive for our crews working in our 3,600 square mile service territory, helping to shorten the time it takes for power outages during maintenance and construction projects.  Our on-call crews will be available to respond to outages and other issues after-hours, in the same manner they are currently.

We appreciate your understanding as we pilot this new schedule and look forward to continuing to serve you with the same commitment to quality and reliability.
