The Blackford County Jail's well returned to service Oct. 23 after an outage lasting more than two days, commissioners heard Nov. 2.

The well went down at noon Oct. 21 and was back in service at 2 p.m. Oct. 23. Jail staff supplied drinking water and additional water for flushing during the outage, and kept the jail inspector informed.

The jail reported 62 total inmates at the Nov. 2 meeting. The discussion also referenced a second well, but no decision on backup water capacity was announced.
