If you are struggling to get ahold of people in Door County on your first day back in the office after Labor Day weekend, you are not alone. Area businesses began alerting their followers on social media at approximately 8:45 a.m. Tuesday about a Spectrum outage and explaining how it would affect their operations.

For many businesses, the outage affects not just internet access but also phone and point-of-sale systems. Those trying to reach businesses affected by the outage are encouraged to find alternate ways to make contact and bring cash when visiting impacted businesses.

No timeline for service restoration has been announced, but Spectrum alerted customers that their next update would come by 1 p.m.
