Improved Telephone Service For Oak River Rural Area
The Manitoba Telephone System will resume next month a construction program to improve rural Oak River facilities. About six miles of cable will be buried and 55 miles of wire erected, creating nine new rural lines to lower customers per line and allow growth. Last month seven miles of pole line north of Oak River were replaced with buried cable, coordinated with highway work. The projects are part of an accelerated plan to boost rural service across the province.
