City officials announced on social media that a fiber line outage between Galveston City Hall and the city’s Justice Center has disrupted internet and telephone services at multiple key municipal facilities.
The city has announced that the impacted fiber run serves as a vital link, facilitating operations across several government locations. The outage has left facilities without access to internet and phone systems.
