Hercules City Hall will be closed the following two Fridays to

repair water damage from the recent rainy season that resulted in

mold.

Water seeped into the city manager's office and surrounding offices,

raising concerns for the health of the city staff, said Hercules

Public Information Officer Doreen Mathews.

After tests revealed mold spores that could trigger allergic

reactions, a city-commissioned firm devised a mold remediation plan

that calls for removing, cleaning and replacing ceiling tiles in all

the affected offices.

The work will begin Friday and is expected to take approximately 35

days.

The main City Hall building will close Friday and reopen Monday. It

will close again May 26 and reopen May 30, the Tuesday after

Memorial Day.

The Police Department, Affordable Housing office and Senior Center

will remain open and maintain normal business hours, Mathews said.
