From the article:
“It’s frustrating to be at the mercy of another provider when our members are impacted, but it’s the nature of our infrastructure," said Mike Roush, vice president of operations."We were limited in what we knew and what we could do to help because it’s not our line and not our crews. We’re thankful to know that everyone is back up again."
