I am copying a post that was in tonight’s Jay Community News for your information, in case you missed it. Thanks to Trudy Rosenblum for all she does with the Jay Community News.

I just wanted to make you aware of the current situation with the lack of cell service within the Town of Jay since Sunday. There are a couple of factors that are contributing to this lack of coverage; one being a problem with the Bassett Mountain Tower and also a main T1 Line is down between Long Lake and Tupper Lake. Verizon crews are in the process of locating and fixing this problem. I have been in constant contact with Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish, Verizon Wireless and the Public Service Commission in order to monitor this situation. I am aware that some constituents rely solely on cell phones and no longer have a land line available, so I want to reassure you that in the event of emergency, cell users can dial 911 on their Verizon device and it will connect to a backup line that will automatically roll over to an emergency dispatch operator. Please be advised that I am working diligently with the proper authorities to have full service restored to our area as soon as possible. My best to you, and I hope that you are having a safe and enjoyable summer. Sincerely,
