They do not have an estimated time when all services will be restored but explained a new Central Distribution Office needs to be set up.

Anyone with a landline that connects to SaskTel’s copper distribution network still does not have landline or internet service as well. Customers can also contact the town office to require a temporary cellular service if needed for emergencies.
