Phone Line Outage Impacts Some Citizens' Ability to Call 9-1-1

* * The cause of the line outage was due to a wet cable in a flooded central office. Qwest says that it will take 2 to 3 days for the line to dry out. Some of the estimated 2,700 affected residences may experience sporadic phone service over the next few days. (Updated 11/8/08) * *

A Qwest phone line outage will prohibit some Pierce County citizens’ ability to call 9-1-1 from their landlines. Affected phone numbers in the 253 area code begin with the prefix 564, which primarily impacts citizens and businesses in West Tacoma, Fircrest and University Place. Qwest has not yet been able to provide LESA with an estimated repair time.
