January 07, 2009 @ 12:00 AM

BARBOURSVILLE -- A person digging footers for a house cut Verizon phone and DSL lines Monday, halting service for 76 customers in east Huntington and West Barboursville neighborhoods.

Sandra Arnette, Verizon's manager of media relations for West Virginia, said service was to be restored Tuesday night. She also said the person responsible may be held liable for the cost of repairing lines.
