The outage affected everything from city wading pools to televised meetings, building security systems, and traffic light operations in some parts of the city.

“Our 911 service was always fully functioning and working despite the outage,” said police spokesperson Connie Osborne.

A city spokesperson said issues related to the Rogers outage affecting the public were confined mainly to debit and credit payment issues at city facilities including golf courses, ferry docks, waste drop-off sites and service counters. Some wading pools could not open due to the requirement for an operating cellphone at each location in the event of an emergency.

The city also relies on the Rogers GSM network to help remotely monitor fire alarm and sprinkler systems in municipal buildings.
