FAIRHOPE – The city of Fairhope reopened the Municipal Pier and North Beach Park on Friday, Nov. 6, after damage from Hurricane Zeta was repaired.
Zeta struck the northern Gulf Coast on Oct. 28. Storm surges of more than seven feet in some locations on Mobile Bay damaged piers and other facilities along the shoreline.
The Fairhope Pier will be open from sunrise to sunset, but the public restrooms will remain closed. City officials said the pier does not have potable water restored and the pier lights are also still not working.
Crews will continue to work to get all functions of the pier restored as quickly as possible, a city statement said. The North Beach South pier, North Beach North pier are still closed as crews work to complete repairs. Piers at Orange, Pecan, Pier and White have been inspected and are open.
Anyone needing to report problems at the sites can call 251-928-8003.
