City of Garden City is a municipally-owned utility operating in Kansas under EIA identifier 6941. It reports service to approximately 11,867 customer accounts and generated about $0.03 billion in annual electric revenue, with a service footprint spanning 1 ZIP code. As a municipal utility, it is typically governed by a local board or city council and is exempt from federal income tax.
In 2023, the average City of Garden City customer experienced 17.4 minutes of power interruptions, a measure known as SAIDI, or System Average Interruption Duration Index. That keeps this utility below the typical 120–180 minute national benchmark, consistent with a well-hardened distribution system and fast restoration crews. Over the same period, SAIFI (outage events per customer) was 0.42, putting the typical customer at roughly 0 distinct interruptions that year. Strip out major event days (hurricanes, ice storms) and SAIDI falls to 17.4 minutes; the difference from the headline 17.4 shows how much of the outage total came from weather rather than everyday grid issues.
Only a single year of reliability data is available, so multi-year trend analysis is not yet possible for City of Garden City.
