Phone Service Restored At West Hartford Offices, Schools: UPDATE

WEST HARTFORD, CT — A phone service disruption prevented inbound calls to numerous West Hartford municipal and school facilities, town officials announced Thursday morning.

But by mid-afternoon, service was restored, according to the town.

"All phone lines have now been restored to town and school facilities," wrote the Town of West Hartford on social media.

The outage affected all inbound calls to West Hartford Public Schools, West Hartford Town Hall offices, the school district's administrative offices and the Noah Webster Library.

Calls to West Hartford Fire Department headquarters and all five town fire stations were also affected, as were calls to the Fairview Cemetery office.

Town officials said the disruption was with West Hartford's phone carrier.

While telephone service was disrupted, residents who need to reach town or school employees were asked to use West Hartford's online staff directory to send an email requesting a callback.
