Some offices at the Moses Lake’s Civic Center at 401 S. Balsam St. were to remain closed until Monday due to fumes from an electrical fire Friday morning, according to a city news update.

The Moses Lake Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services Department, Moses Lake Police Department, Planning, Accounting and Engineering divisions, and Utilities were included in the closure. But utility billing staff were still available at 509-764-3715 or 509-764-3719.

The fire caused power outages and employees were sent home Friday until power was restored.

The Grant County PUD isolated an underground fault and made repairs.
