Phone service in parts of Marshall County has been disrupted after a fiber optic line was damaged by a water crew in another county Friday morning.

The problem affected customers in the Cameron and Hundred areas.  Phone customers in the 686 exchange can call within that exchange, but cannot call out or receive calls outside the 686 exchange. Phone service and 911 service was restored about 2:30 p.m. for Cameron area residents, according to Emergency Management director Tom Hart.

Moon said a water company was digging in Fairview, which is in Marion County, W. Va., and went too close to a hillside as crews were trenching out a road. A utility pole came down, and the electric lines burned through Frontier's fiber optic line.
