City Communications Manager Megan Strickland says during a repair of an air handler on the 30th floor of City Hall on Monday, a valve was inadvertently left open, causing water to leak down to the 26th floor.
Lucas' office and City Council Chambers are both currently being remediated.
Facilities staff and subcontractors are on-site assessing the damage and continuing cleanup efforts.
