Summary
Adams Point residents near Garner said they lost water, power or internet at various times over the past week during construction tied to a T-Mobile fiber line.
A water main break linked by residents to the digging has been repaired, but outages still disrupted daily life, including remote work and access to water needed for a dog's medication.
Residents said crews were digging in yards and questioned why utility lines were not clearly marked before excavation to avoid damaging basic services.
Lumos, which is handling the work, said resident and crew safety is its top priority and that it is trying to minimize impacts, respond quickly and keep the community informed.
With construction still moving through the neighborhood, some residents said they fear more service interruptions as crews get closer to additional homes.
