Power is back on at the Will County Office Building in downtown Joliet after being out for more than 90 minutes.

The county sent out an alert at 11:45 a.m. on Friday saying power was out at the main administrative building on Chicago Street and other areas around downtown Joliet.

Michael Theodore, communications director for Will County, sent out an email at 1:19 p.m. stating power had been restored to the county building.

Due to a power outage at Joliet Central and Pathways campuses, students were dismissed early at 1:15 p.m. on Friday, Joliet Township High School District 204 spokesperson Kristine Schlismann said in an email.

This includes students in the AVAC Program, she said.

After-school athletics and activities were also canceled at Joliet Central and Pathways campuses, Schlismann said.

The closures did not impact the Transition Center or Joliet West campus.

Transportation is provided to Joliet Central and Pathways students in bused areas. Students should be picked up if they do not have transportation, Schlismann said.

The buildings will remain open for students who are waiting for rides.
