Phones fixed at Houghton Co. Sheriff’s Office

The Houghton County Sheriff’s Department reports that the telephone service for the department has been restored.

Damage to a fiber optic line was the cause for phone problems, but the fiber optic line has since been repaired.

The Houghton County Sheriff’s Department lost the ability to take incoming calls as well as make outgoing calls Sunday evening.

But, all phone lines are back working now.
