In 2018, the fiber distribution center that serves the Town Creek area suffered major damage as a result of flooding from Hurricane Florence. The project to repair the facility took longer than expected to complete due to the extensive damage that the facility suffered, as well as delays in receiving necessary environmental and building permits. ATMC is pleased to report that the facility has been rebuilt and it is now elevated to prevent the possibility of future stormwater damage.

Work to move customers over to the new fiber distribution center will take place Monday through Saturday, June 7-12. Customers in the Town Creek and Leland area may experience an interruption of services on one or more of these dates. To minimize the impact of this transition and lesson service interruptions, ATMC has scheduled work to be done between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

To help keep customers better informed of scheduled maintenance projects, ATMC has created a new network updates alert page that provides the location as well as dates and times of when work is scheduled to be done. If you have any issues as a result of this transition, please contact our Repair Center at 910-754-4317.
