County Taking Safety Precautions on Asbestos in Courthouse

Prowers County Courthouse

October 11, 2016 – Media Release

In the process of planning for a new HVAC system in the Prowers County Courthouse, a required asbestos inspection was performed. Asbestos-containing material was detected in a non-public access area.

The area is sealed off and contained. We are taking the necessary steps to secure a company to perform the abatement in accordance with the regulations set by the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment.

As always, our first concern is for the safety and welfare of the employees who work in the Courthouse and all citizens who use the Courthouse.
