DMV to Close for Roof Repairs, Mold Removal

Starting Friday at noon, the San Clemente field office will be out of service for a month.

The Department of Motor Vehicles announced today that its field office in San Clemente will close at noon Friday and is not expected to re-open until March 18.

Workers will be replacing the roof, according to a DMV press release. But officials have also found mold in the building.

"To ensure the health and safety of employees and customers, the project schedule has been moved up so that a mold problem that has been detected in the facility can be effectively treated and eradicated by contamination experts," states a DMV press release. 

A March 18 re-opening could be changed if there are any weather delays.

Until then, motorists -- or wanna be motorists -- are directed to use the following branches:

  • Laguna Hills, 23535 Moulton Parkway, 16 miles away
  • Oceanside, 4005 Plaza Drive, 30 miles away 
  • Costa Mesa, 650 W. 19th Street, 30 miles away

Any chance they'll add back the daily weather in the header? or anywhere? I used to check theRead More Patch daily just for the weather which of course led me to the additional news articles but I honestly don't read it as often now since the weather is not on the 'new look'.

It's being discussed, but it's further down the list. I know we're working on bringing back theRead More comment stream (the quotes people would leave a stories, I always loved that). We're making tweaks everyday, and I think the look is a huge improvement over little blue East Coast houses. ;-)

Arg. So frustrated. I really wanted to read this article, but will not read an article of thisRead More length with *no paragraph breaks*. This is not the first time I've encountered this on The Patch. Very frustrating....actually haven't even looked at The Patch in a bit because last time, same thing. Arg.
