First a dump truck pulled the wires down at the Gilson road and Colony road tower location.
Second, a Fedex truck caught some Verizon wires and pulled off the power and wiring on our downtown location.
Both have been repaired.

Most of St. Johns was without power Friday night as Consumers Energy did repair work on the power station. As of this morning all systems are reporting back online.

The main power to St. Johns failed during the early morning on Thursday. The utility pole caught on fire and then the top of the pole fell into the other high voltage wires at the transfer station. We had generator power setup by noon and service was running shortly after that.
We are in cleanup mode now that power has been restored. We have repairs scheduled for the St. Clair road /Mead road tower scheduled for Friday morning. The antenna appears to have failed at this location. We also have a repair scheduled for the Essex center/Colony road tower radio in St. Johns. The link is up and running but is not passing traffic as we expect.
The radio backhaul in Bannister appears to also have failed, but we have no way of accessing the radio till Monday morning.
What a weird weather year, I'm ready for a boring snowstorm!!

The office will be closed on Friday for the Fourth of July.
Over the weekend we will be upgrading some router firmware and there may be brief outages as routers restart. Normal maintenace if there are no weather or tower outages.
We also have a project beginning next week which will change how we market and deliver our services. More will follow on this as we make it available.
Have a great holiday!!!
