911 service restored

The 911 emergency call service in San Marcos was restored about 1:05 p.m. today after going down around 11:45 a.m. Emergency calls in San Marcos were routed to Hays County 911 during the outage.

Technicians from Century Tel, the San Marcos telephone company, restored the 911 service after it went out following a brief power failure in the vicinity of Wonder World Drive. When the power came back on at the Police Department around 11:45 a.m., the 911 service went down, police officials said.
