Electrical surge interrupts Sunflower Cablevision service
Several thousand Sunflower Cablevision customers lost service for about three hours Thursday after an electrical surge destroyed equipment near 10th and New Hampshire. General Manager Dan McGough said the surge burned major components feeding a trunk line to customers west of Iowa Street. The outage lasted from 5:45 p.m. to 8:35 p.m. The cause was not known, and the company noted surge protectors were and are in use but may not stop large surges. Sunflower is upgrading to fiber optics, aiming to complete the work by Thanksgiving.
