MLGW’s phone bank will be down for a couple of hours Thursday night for maintenance.

The utility company says its customer care center will be down from 11 p.m. Thursday night until 1 a.m. Friday morning. Both 820-7878 and 544-MLGW will be out of service during this time, but the utility says it shouldn’t have a large impact on customers because the numbers are typically unmanned during those hours.
