Some nine counties in the Wiregrass area – including Covington County – were without E-911 service for about an hour on Sunday.

E-911 Director Kristi Stamnes said that there was a cut in the Centurylink line in Montgomery, which affected all of the counties.

Stamnes said that they noticed the lines were out around 4 p.m.

Stamnes said it was just a random outage.

“Sometimes we have outages for various reasons, but it has never been so widespread.”

Stamnes said Monday morning that all lines were back up and running.
