City of Salinas Government Phone Service Restored
Salinas, CA -- After a partial outage that began on Friday, December 12, City of Salinas government phones are working again.
City staff and technicians from equipment provider Siemens worked through the weekend and through Monday night, restoring most service by 3:30 this morning. A malfunctioning line at the Public Services Yard turned out to be a separate problem, and was fixed by ATT by 12:30 pm.
The cause of most of the outage was flooding, which damaged a phone circuit board at the City Permit Center. That in turn caused the failure of a circuit board at City Hall, which interrupted some connections there and at the Police Department, and all connections at the Animal Shelter, El Gabilan Library and the recreation centers.
The cause of the Public Services Yard outage was a downed line.
About 100 City phone lines were affected by the outage.
