The lights are back on at the Carroll County Government Office Building after a period of darkness. The facility, housed at 225 North Center St. in Westminster, was hit by a power outage that temporarily disrupted county services. However, as of now, the power has been restored and most operations are running again at full throttle, according to a press release by Carroll County Government.
While power is largely back to normal, there's a hiccup—residents looking to handle certain official matters will have to wait a bit longer. The county’s permit issuance and water/sewer bill processing systems remain down. According to a statement from the Carroll County Government, their Information Technology and Comptroller staff are "working diligently to have this system up and running as soon as possible."
Residents who have been affected by the outage are being thanked for their patience. "Thank you to all county residents for your patience and understanding," the county expressed in a release.
