The Todd County Courthouse on East Washington Street in Elkton is operating normally after a water line froze and burst and flooded the building early last week.
The main line that feeds the sprinkler system burst and began pouring water into the building and it was discovered on the morning of Monday, December 26.
Judge-Executive Todd Mansfield says there was water standing in most of the building, but the damage wasn’t nearly as bad as it could have been.
They were able to reopen the building the following day and while there’s still work to do, everyone is back in their offices.
Judge Mansfield says any losses incurred by the county will be covered by insurance through the Kentucky Association of Counties.
