The phone lines and internet has been down in Rigolet since Saturday evening February 6th.
Member of the House of Assembly Lela Evans has been in contact with Bell Aliant with regards to the outage and when the community of Rigolet should expect the lines to be restored.
Evans says that weather permitting, a chopper will be used to get to Mulliak where they have pinpointed the trouble. At Maliak or between Maliak and Rigolet.
She adds that if a chopper cannot be used to get to the site, they will fly in technicians to get to Rigolet to restore the lines as soon as weather permits.
