An odor issue caused a brief closure Wednesday of the Pottawatomie County Office Building in Westmoreland.
The facility was evacuated and closed for about an hour and a half as Kansas Gas Service performed a check of lines in the building. They were able to rule out any gas leak. Employees and customers were allowed back into the building at 2 p.m.
The office building has been deemed safe for employees and customers. County officials say more work will be done to narrow down the mysterious odor.
The building houses offices for the Pottawatomie County Treasurer, Clerk, Appraiser, Register of Deeds, Planning and Zoning, GIS and Administration.
