Environmental Concerns
Water leaks and damage are a persistent problem, often caused by leaking water and sewer pipes or condensation from HVAC units, causing ceiling tiles to collapse and require frequent replacement. The leaks impact employee workspaces and risk damage to court records and evidence.

Employee work areas are overcrowded, and staff deal with water and sewer pipes from the jail frequently leaking into first-floor offices and workspaces. This damages County property and documents and poses health risks to the staff.
Sewer backups often leak into the jail and onto the first floor.
