The Brownwood Police Department posted the following on its Facebook shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday:
So much work has gone on today and continues to happen to get our phone service back online. Although not 100%, I am able to report that you should be able to phone 911 and receive a local emergency dispatcher.
For non-emergencies, we are up and running with 325-646-2525 for Brownwood and 325-646-5510 for Brown County. Disregard the cell numbers.
If there is any change to this, you will be updated as soon as possible!
There is so much work left to do to get Brownwood up and running but we are thankful for the hardworking men and women who have given their heart to getting power restored, phone lines restored and our water system back online!
