The power failure at the East County Hall of Justice was due to ongoing maintenance and repairs of the main power source to the building. As the repairs were proceeding, the building was utilizing a backup generator as its sole power source. That generator failed this morning.
Contractors are working to repair the backup generator. Please visit the Court’s website at www.alameda.courts.ca.gov for updates on the building’s status tomorrow morning.
