Courthouse to reopen Wednesday
01/02/2018
The Bossier Parish Courthouse
in Benton will be open for business Wednesday at its regular 8 a.m. opening
time after emergency repairs were completed to a natural gas line.
Crews completed temporary
repairs Tuesday evening shortly after 8 p.m. to bring water heaters and boilers
in the courthouse back on line. Jim Firth, who directed the operation for the Bossier
Parish Police Jury, said permanent repairs would begin Wednesday.
An emergency declaration
closed the courthouse Tuesday afternoon when the natural gas leak was
discovered.
