Late this morning, the contractor working on Park Place in Butler apparently damaged Verizon's underground telephone cables causing phone problems for customers in the area including the Butler Police Department Communications. The cables involved connect most of Butler and Kinnelon with their central office in Riverdale. In this instance Cablevision's Optinmum phone customers probably won't be affected like they are when the power goes out. I understand that the news media is being notified.
