Knox County 911 services restored

All 911 services in Galesburg and Knox County have restored after an apparent disconnection in a fiber optic line.The disconnection occurred around 9 a.m. Wednesday and after about an hour 911 calls were being rerouted to Warren County’s 911 dispatch call center.

Many land lines in the Galesburg area were down yesterday.

The City of Galesburg cited a significant failure in the Century Link telephone company system, but a representative with the company told WGIL the problem lied outside their network.

All emergency and non-emergency lines are now operational to the Galesburg/Knox County Public Safety Building.
