A CenturyLink spokesperson says services impacted by what the company had termed an “equipment issue” in the Gorge were restored late Monday afternoon.  Skamania and Klickitat counties both reported their 9-1-1 services were restored at around 1:30 p.m., while Hood River and Wasco counties did so just before 5 p.m.  Emergency phone communications at 9-1-1 centers in the region and phone service throughout the area was scrambled because of the issue that some law enforcement officials described as a failure of a major CenturyLink fiber terminal in the area.  CenturyLink spokesperson Rachel Montemayor said in an e-mail to Bicoastal Media shortly after 4 p.m. that “all services previously impacted have now been restored,” but did not elaborate on what caused the outage.  In a post on its website, Gorge Networks said the problem had impacted some wireless, wireline, and broadband carriers in the Gorge, and caused widespread telephone network/DSL outages for multiple carriers in the Gorge.
