Posted on Jan. 21: Water main break impacts campus

A major water main break in West Hamilton this morning left the University without any water for a short time.

Although the water is now back on, director of Physical Plant, Tony Cupido says the temporary shut down has left some offices colder than usual. Water pressure is also a problem in some areas particularly on upper floors of some buildings. If possible it's best to use washroom facilities in the lower floors.

“The air in the lines has left us with some problematic areas. We're checking all of the systems and we hope everything will be operating normally by early afternoon,” says Cupido.

If anyone is concerned about the temperature or water pressure in their area or if there are any other concerns staff, faculty and students are encouraged to call the Physical Plant service desk at ext. 24740.
