A Pacific Gas and Electric Company transformer outage has shut down phone lines to the Milpitas Police Department, police announced Sunday evening.
Non-emergency and business phone lines to the department are non-operational as of about 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
All 911 calls and non-emergency calls will be automatically routed to the Santa Clara County Communications center so that emergency and police response services remain available.
