(KNZA)--The Brown County Courthouse was back open Monday after temporary sewer repairs were made. 

The Courthouse was closed Friday after a sewage backup was discovered in the basement Thursday afternoon.

Courthouse custodian Ben Walker told County Commissioners on Monday that a plumber determined there was blockage at the manhole on the south side of the courthouse 

Walker said a Hiawatha city crew jetted the city side and indicated the blockage was on the county side.

He said its believed the line has collasped under the sidewalk and will need to replaced this spring.

In 2017, the sewer line was replaced from the courthouse to the sidewalk.
