Cracked sprinklers caused $158,327 in damage to the lower floors of the South Brunswick Police Station in the Municipal Complex on Ridge Road during the late hours of January 18 through the early hours on January 19, 2009. The repairs are almost finished, but the large amount of water given off by the sprinklers significantly damaged furniture, equipment and ceiling tiles. Surprisingly, the water and repairs have not interfered with the police dispatch service yet. Repairs were made to walls, alarms, and fireproof mechanisms. A projector with a lamp, a computer, and the most expensive of all, the carpet, need to be replaced. Hopefully, the repairs will be finished soon, so that the ability for the Communications Department to handle 911 calls is not disrupted in any way.
