There is scheduled fiber maintenance to be performed on September 12 between 12:01 AM and 3:00 AM which will effect 9-1-1 telephone landline communications in the Brown County area.
The communications provider will be working on a fiber cable near Russell, Minnesota and moving it to make room for bridge work to be performed on State Highway 91. This work will take between 10 minutes and up to 3 hours to complete.
(Editors Note: Back in the day, as they say, there where requirements in many states to have clear diverse routing for 911 circuits. This is a clear example of why it is important. Diverse routing isn’t just another cable pair or fiber strand. It is physically a different route. Does your 911 system have diverse routing to protect your ability to take calls? For more info...)
