Power Surge Knocks Out County Property

A power surge, possibly caused by a lightning strike during one of the recent storms, disabled the elevator, destroyed several phones and damaged others, and knocked out the Internet at the Courthouse, the Worth County Commission learned at their meeting Monday. The county will try to get reimbursed through insurance.

Commissioners looked at the 130th and 140th road culverts, which are slated for possible replacement. Water nearly went over the road.

Discussion was held on a possible new round of brush letters to send.

Commissioners received complaints from landowners about roads following the recent rains. Issues reported included tubes in danger of washing out, flooding, and people having to drive through water that was over roads.

There was discussion on possible speakers at the quarterly commissioners’ meeting to be held at Sheridan on September 18th.

The Board of Equalization meeting will be held July 21st at the Courthouse at 10:30 am. Commissioners approved a flat $100 pay rate for people serving on the board.
