Orcas Isssues tested the lines and 911 is working, although there may be a slight delay after dialing before it rings.
— from San Juan County Communications —
A malfunctioning CenturyLink phone trunk has resulted in busy signals for callers to San Juan County Offices on and off for the past two days. County Employees have been able to call out through a new backup phone line.
The County is currently working with alternative telephone service providers to provide additional backup for in-bound calls.
CenturyLink techs are working on the problem. No firm repair time estimate is available.
