Courthouse Cooling Tower Repair Approved for $15,470
From the Blackford County Commissioners meeting on October 5, 2026
Blackford County commissioners approved a $15,470 courthouse cooling-tower repair after discussing more trouble in the building's cooling system.
The meeting described the approved work as an overhaul tied to shielding and age-related issues with the tower.
Commissioners then turned to a separate chiller make-up water-system problem involving bearings, shafts, alignment, leaks, and a float valve. That item was discussed at about $5,000, but the transcript does not clearly show whether the amount was a new quote, a past invoice, or part of earlier stopgap work.
The cooling-tower repair was approved. The second mechanical item was discussed, but no clear separate vote is preserved in the portion reviewed.
