Phones finally restored

Land line phone service has been restored to 500 customers in Kamloops.

The service was knocked out on Friday when rising temperatures caused snow melt to flood a handful of manholes containing Telus infrastructure.

Cables were damaged, disrupting home phone service for affected customers. Internet, TV and cellphone service were not impacted. 

Telus spokesperson Liz Sauve thanked customers for their patience and said technicians worked around the clock to restore service, pumping out water and repairing damaged cables.

Service was restored for the majority of customers on Monday, and was fully restored to all of them this morning.
