Dec. 24, 2001 – Innovative Telephone customers in Estates Carlton, Whim and Two Williams, some of whom have been without service since Saturday, may have phone service restored by Monday night.
The phone service in those areas was interrupted due to a water main break in the La Grange area, according to a release from Innovative Telephone. About 800 customers were initially affected, according to Janette Millin Young, company spokeswoman.
Crews have been working on the problem since Saturday, and a release issued Monday morning said "the affected areas should be restored by Monday evening." Young said about 500 of the affected phones were working again, leaving "a few hundred" still out of order.
She seemed confident the work would be completed by Monday evening. "It is slow going," she said, "because all the lines have to be respliced. They got wet."
