Bedford County Business Complex was damaged by flooding over the weekend after a water pipe ruptured in a physician’s office located on the second floor.

Several local and state agencies, including the Tennessee Driver's License Center, Tennessee Department of Revenue, and Bedford County Information Technology (IT) Department, sustained water damage during the event.

Some services were down while computer systems were relocated between the time the flood was discovered at 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Christmas Eve, and 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, Christmas day.

While some computer systems in the building were damaged, there was no loss of data, according to Bedford County IT Director Josh Carney. Carney thanked the IT staffers who worked during the holiday on resolving the issue.

All county government offices were fully functional after the incident. A lone reporting server for the Bedford County Jail was in the process of being repaired at the time of this press release.

The recent press release stated, "The county has a robust and secure IT infrastructure, and the IT department works constantly to maintain and improve it, and to make sure that all county employees are up to date on security threats and operate their systems in a safe and secure manner."
