INFORMATION FOR VERIZON LANDLINE CUSTOMERS

Verizon has asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for permission to discontinue traditional copper-based landline telephone service in portions of Virginia, including parts of Culpeper County.

Verizon has stated that no customer will lose copper service unless a replacement voice service is available at that location. Replacement options could include fiber, cable, fixed wireless or mobile wireless service.

Culpeper County is monitoring the proceeding and coordinating with the Virginia Association of Counties and neighboring counties. Residents who currently use a traditional landline are encouraged to review the County’s notice for important dates, information about submitting comments to the FCC, and guidance on what to do if Verizon contacts you.

The article also highlights CFEC’s next phase of growth and the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors’ recent approval of $100,000 in Grant Match funding to support the center’s planned expansion.

A big thank you to Culpeper County’s volunteer firefighters for their response to a semi-trailer fire at the County Transfer Station on Friday, August 28.

Crews worked for nearly three hours to bring the fire under control, using approximately 36,000 gallons of water. Firefighters maintained a steady water supply throughout the response, allowing suppression efforts to continue without interruption.

Despite the size of the response, the Transfer Station remained open and continued serving residents while crews worked to contain the fire.

We are grateful to the volunteer firefighters who responded, along with Transfer Station, Environmental Services and emergency management staff who assisted throughout the incident. Their coordination and teamwork helped bring the situation to a safe conclusion while minimizing disruption to the public.
