Cuyahoga County Courthouse Safe from Water

When a water pipe near Ontario and Superior burst underground yesterday, the flowing water reached the second step of the Cuyahoga County Courthouse before receding. Other than mud on the steps and surrounding streets, and an odor in the lower levels of the building, the Courthouse was safe from the deluge that broke a gaping hole in the street and shut down the roads near Public Square. Although Tri-C's main campus downtown had to close because of water problems, the Courthouse remained open for the pursuit of justice.
