Water pressure has been restored at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center in downtown Houston on Wednesday morning, according to the Department of Engineering.
Carl Apple, the director of communications for the county’s Department of Engineering, said the building gets its water from the City of Houston, and they are not sure water led to the drop in water pressure.
This began just before 9 a.m. and lasted until just after 10:30 a.m.
The building is on Franklin Street near San Jacinto Street.
He said the water pressure is typically from 35 to 40 psi, but it dropped down to 30 psi this morning. While the pressure has been restored to 35 psi, they had to fill their main water tank in the basement.
Public Works said there was never an issue with drinking water in the building.
Despite the lack of water for a period of time, court dockets continued.
