Mercer County Courthouse closed today due to waterline break

MERCER, PA. — The Mercer County Courthouse and other county government buildings in Mercer have been forced to close for the rest of the day due to a mainline water break on Route 62 just outside the borough.

The building has no running water or restroom availability until the waterline is repaired.

There are, however, a couple of essential previously scheduled activities that are necessary to leave the doors open for limited access. A news conference scheduled in the commissioners’ conference room by District Attorney Miles Karson regarding the police officer-involved shooting in Sharon is still set at 1:30 p.m. today and the courthouse steelworkers union vote is continuing in the lower level.
