The official website for the Lane County government is now restored, following an outage that began last Thursday.

County officials say their vendor, CivicLive, had a hardware failure that crashed sites throughout its customer base.

Visitors are forewarned that while the Lane County government website is back up, it’ll be slow, as technicians stabilize the restored sites. All main services are back, including registration links for the COVID-19 vaccine.
