All County phone lines are down. This affects all business lines into any Cowlitz County department. Additionally, any other business lines that transfer after hours to County departments (such as law enforcement business lines), will not go through.
Emergency 911 lines are NOT affected. This shouldn't need to be stated, but only use 911 for emergencies! Please hold any non-urgent, business related calls until the system is back up and running.
There is currently no estimated time to resolve this issue although crews are working diligently on it - so much for their plans for an uneventful Friday night!
