Keowee Key landline and internet outage

A landline telephone and internet outage blankets the Keowee Key area of Oconee County, and the estimated time for restoration could be as late as Thursday morning. Scott Krein, director of Oconee County Emergency Management, says everyone should be mindful that landline phone and internet thru A-T-and-T may be out affecting Medic alert systems, fire alarms and other systems in homes and businesses. Cell phones are working, so if you need to call 9-1-1, use your cell. If you don’t have one, notify a neighbor. For assistance, Keowee Fire Station is staffed 24 hours a day.
