Officials with the Audubon County Memorial Hospital they have been notified by the City of Audubon, that a planned cutting of a T1 copper line that services the Audubon County Hospital, which was to have begun at around 3-p.m. today (Tuesday), has now been postponed!

Officials will announced later this week when the next attempt will be made. The project is needed to complete a portion of the water and sewer project. Since the copper line serves as the only phone line to the hospital, once it is cut, the facility will be operating under their “disaster protocol” while the phone line is disconnected, until splicing of the copper line has been completed.
