JOINT MEDIA RELEASE | October 15th Weather Event -Update 4 Date: October 21, 2026 Contacts: Amanda Dale, Public Information Officer, 907-228-2340 Kim Simpson, Public Information Officer, 907-228-5458 For Immediate Release: The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) will transition to an advisory level following today’s operations. Ketchikan Public Utilities (KPU) plans to place its mobile substation into temporary service at the API Ward Cove property and have it energized by Monday, October 26, 2026. This substation will be able to power the customers ordinarily covered by the damaged Ward Cove substation. City of Ketchikan employees have been moving supplies and equipment out of the Harbormaster maintenance building in preparation for demolition, which is scheduled to begin tomorrow, October 22, 2026. The maintenance building, located south of Harbormaster office building, was already planned for demolition. However, damage to the storm drain caused by the October 15 Weather Event has expedited the timeline by approximately one month. Because the building sits directly above the storm drain, it must be removed to allow for the drain’s replacement. A new maintenance building is scheduled to be constructed by spring 2027. Additional updates will be shared through press releases as information becomes available.
