She said some of the affected areas included the front lobby and server room.
Channel 2’s Ashli Lincoln was at the jail on Friday afternoon.
There is no word on how long it will take to clean up or how much damage was caused.
Lincoln saw Servpro crews bringing dozens of fans into the jail to help dry it out.
Ivory said that in October, a pipe burst inside the jail during planned maintenance, damaging several servers and costing the county $1 million to replace.
She says it’s those same servers that were affected during Saturday’s incident.
