Sewer line replacement at Denton, Texas, police HQ prompts temporary jail relocation
(UI) — Ongoing sewer line replacement at Denton City Hall East — which houses the Denton Police Department — has temporarily disrupted jail operations and inmate housing.
According to the Denton Police Department, the project involves replacing an aged section of sewer infrastructure serving the municipal complex. As a result, the city’s jail facility is currently closed, with no inmates being held on-site.
While repairs continue, individuals arrested for Class B offenses and above are being booked into Denton County Jail, while those arrested for Class C offenses — such as public intoxication — are being processed at the Flower Mound Jail. The Denton Police Department recommends contacting Denton Public Safety Communications at 940-349-8181 for detainee information or checking the respective jail websites.
Construction is expected to be completed by mid-July, though police noted the closure could be extended depending on project progress.
The department expressed appreciation to Denton County Sheriff’s Office and Flower Mound Police Department for their support during the temporary transition.
