Phones go silent at Friendswood City Hall
By TJ Aulds
Update: City spokesman Nick Haby said the phone system was working late Monday afternoon, but was "sporadic." Crews from AT&T were still working to make the system stable. It's expected that phones would be back to normal by the time City Hall opens on Tuesday.
Phone service in and out of City Hall and the Public Works Building in Friendswood was cut off this afternoon. AT&T is working to get the phones working again by the end of the day.

Phone service was not disrupted at the police station, fire department, the 911 system, Friendswood library or the Friendswood activity building.
This is the third time in a year that phone service has been cut to a major part of the city government. The two previous times, construction crews cut through phone lines serving the Friendswood Police Department.
