Fiber Damage - North Cedar Area Thursday 18th February 2021 12:20:34


Due to a vehicle accident in North Cedar close to the Casey's on Center Street, several utility poles have been damaged or knocked down. Communications crews are on scene, however the poles must be replaced by Electric crews and electric service restored before fiber repair can begin. Some fiber damage away from the poles has been identified and repair has begun.

All fiber has been repaired. Incident closed.

There are a few customers that still need fiber repair to their drops. Work is ongoing for those customers, however the damage to the NAP discovered last night has been repaired.

Additional fiber damage has been found. The damage is extensive and impacts a large group of customers. Current estimate is repairs will take an additional 2 1/2 hours.

Communication Technicians are in process of repairing fiber.

Electric repair work has not been completed, so Comm Techs have not been able to work on repairing fiber.
