Repairs have been made and water service has been restored.  We will update this page if there are any other interruptions in water service.

Internet and and cell service (A&TT) on some parts of the peninsula have been out since 1am or so this morning due to damage caused to the AT&T equipment during initial water pipe repair.  Southern Broadband updated that "the hole made to get to the fiber line collapsed and damaged the new water line installed last night."  That water line has now been repaired. "AT&T will not be able to get back to work until water can be removed from the area".  We will update this page as we receive more information regarding the internet/cell fiber line repair.

Thank you for your patience while these repairs are made by BPSUD and AT&T.
