ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - Things are starting to dry up at the Dougherty County Judicial building after roughly two days of flooding that staff believe started on the third floor.
Staff said the drying process just wrapped and they are now working with insurance adjusters to capture all of the damages caused by the third-floor coffee machine waterline.
Officials said 40 to 45 percent of the building was impacted by flooding.
“There’s nothing permanent that we can’t fix,” said Dougherty County Facilities Management Director Heidi Minnick.
