LEBANON — Utility outages caused by a Friday car accident on Bank Street may prevent the Emergency 911 System from working properly depending on individual landline and cellular phone carriers, according to a news release from the Lebanon fire chief.

People experiencing an emergency who cannot contact 911 should call Lebanon Dispatch directly at 603-448-1212, according to the release from Fire Chief Jim Wheatley.

The utility outages are not affecting the city’s public infrastructure systems, including water and wastewater treatment facilities.

As of about noon Friday, the city and utility companies were working to restore service connections and communications.

The Emergency 911 System was expected to be back online by 4 p.m., while the city’s primary fiber internet connectivity may not be fully restored until about midnight.
