■ The Kenai and Soldotna Chambers of Commerce will host a joint luncheon at noon on Wednesday at the Kenai Visitors Center. A legislative session update from Lt. Gov. Byron Mallott, and a presentation from Rebecca Logan of Alaska Support Industry Alliance are planned. RSVP required to 283-1991.

HEA crews will be working on a maintenance project in Nikiski, from approximately Mile 23 on the Kenai Spur Highway to the end of the road near Mile 36 during the month of June.

The crews will be installing new fuses along the power line which will improve the reliability of electric service.

The work may require a brief power outage. If an outage is required, the outage will be isolated to the location the crew is working and may last up to 30 minutes. No HEA member will see more than one outage related to the maintenance work.

If you have questions or need additional information, please call 1-800-478-8551.
