BRIDGEPORT — Bridgeport City Hall was closed Monday due to a power outage, officials said.
Mayor Joseph Ganim said services at City Hall, located at 45 Lyon Terrace, would be closed for the day and would reopen as soon as power was restored. The building contains many city departments, including the Town Clerk, Tax Collector, Building Department, Licensing and Permits and the Board of Education.
United Illuminating, which serves Bridgeport and more than a dozen other towns in southern Connecticut, reported 15 power outages in Bridgeport Monday morning. The outage reportedly began around 4 a.m.
The city said any residents who have payment deadlines for Monday will have an extension contingent on the reopening of City Hall.
