Last week there was water, water everywhere in the Guilford County Courthouse in High Point and that damage shut down nearly all operations there except for the Guilford County Family Justice Center. 

On Friday, Jan 28, the county announced a partial reopening for the Courthouse and provided an update on what citizens can and can’t do there for the time being.

The courthouse in High Point closed on Monday, Jan. 24 after a one-inch pressurized water line on the fourth floor ruptured.
