Annex renovations near completion; county crews replace cast-iron piping and schedule probation-flooring work

Commissioner Pinkan and facilities staff updated the Wichita County Commissioner Court on progress at the county courthouse annex on May 29.

Pinkan said crews hauled 20 loads of dirt to the annex site and that slab marking is complete; excavation and further site work were expected to begin the following week. Facilities staff reported the annex women's restroom repairs are finished and that museum records‑area cast-iron piping had been removed and repiped after sewage infiltration was discovered.

Because much of the piping was exposed in the records area, staff said a full section replacement made more sense than piecemeal patching. Remaining finish work includes flooring in the adult‑probation department and an exterior exit area; staff said that flooring work is on the upcoming Tuesday agenda and will complete the annex project once finished.

Commissioners thanked facilities crews for recent repairs and discussed scheduling remaining tasks. No formal contract awards or supplemental appropriations were recorded in the May 29 discussion.
