Phone system problems have continued this week. Much of Nebraska was without 911 emergency phone service after a fire in a Windstream data center located in Lincoln. The fire did not directly shut down communications in Nuckolls County.
Saturday evening the Nuckolls County Sheriff’s office reported Windstream had advised the local 911 system might be down for several hours and repairs were undertaken. It was possible the sheriff’s dispatch office could also be without telephone service but the company did not state a time when the service interruption might occur.
All services were restored by mid-morning Sunday.
The Nuckolls County office maintained radio communication services.
Apparently the center’s backup system also failed.
The region served by the data center stretches from Hastings to the Missouri River and Interstate 80 to the Kansas state line.
