Essex County Offices closed early on Wednesday, June 25, 2025 due to a sustained outage by the County's Internet Service Provider (ISP).
At approximately 1:00 PM, internet connectivity was lost. After troubleshooting the issue and contacting the County's ISP, it was determined that the outage was widespread, and anticipated to last throughout the day. Constitutional officers and County staff made independent decisions to close their respective offices early.
EMS services and the Sheriff's office will continue to operate and 911 dispatching services are not impacted by the outage.
Staff are monitoring the outage and will report any additional information as it is received.
It is anticipated that County Offices will open tomorrow, Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 8:30 AM
