City Shuts Down MetroNet Construction After Gas Lines Are Ruptured

City Councilman John Weingardt told the Fishers City Council Monday evening he lost patience with MetroNet over hitting gas lines and the city has shut down its construction project in Fishers.  MetroNet is an Internet Service Provider and has been laying underground fiber optic lines throughout the city of Fishers in recent months.

“MetroNet has been in my subdivision in the last few days and have hit gas lines on three or four different occasions,” said Weingardt.  “We’ve shut ’em down.”

The company has been instructed to come up with a better method to bury its fiber optic lines.
