Escambia Tax Collector Marcus Pointe Office Back Open

October 7, 2021

After being down for most of a week due to a cut fiber optic cable, the Escambia County Tax Collector Marcus Pointe Office is back up and running.

Last Friday, a truck hit a poke and pulled down a fiber line that supports the office. Wednesday night, Escambia County Tax Collector Scott Lunsford said repairs and complete and office will be open Thursday.

All other office remained open during the period.

    Seems like a long time for a fiber to get repaired. Generally, a cable like that would be fixed within half a day, not 5 days. Did the cable belong to ATT or Southern Light(or whatever their called now)?

    Just another example of how critical lineman are. This time it was actually AT&T who worked in the rain to bring it back up
