As BRL first told you in this story Thursday night, a major fiber cable has been cut that supplies telephone, 911, cell, internet and other data services to a large part of Western Nelson County including Wintergreen Resort. Other area businesses along Route 151 and in Beech Grove are without the capability to process credit cards as a result of the cut.
Wintergreen Fire & Rescue Chief Curtis Sheets told BRL Thursday night that most communication to the mountain resort is out including the main public switching network that supplies telephone service to the resort and homes there. He went on to say that some cell service is working marginally, but 911 service is out and calls are being transferred to the Lovingston Emergency Operations Center.
