Residents are asked to call 519-969-5210 for non-emergency situations. If there's a busy signal, you are asked to call back.
Emergencies can be called into 911 and those lines remain operational.
The outage was due to a cut fiber cable in London. While crews are still repairing it, the back up lines will work.
