Dear Campus Community:

Due to a water main break from the steam pipeline construction, the following buildings will not have water pressure, meaning that the restrooms, water fountains, and kitchens are out of service and cannot be used.  Water testing will need to occur before water can be deemed potable.

DO NOT DRINK THE WATER FROM THE BUILDINGS BELOW

Due to health concerns, faculty, staff, students, and any vendors/visitors must vacate the following buildings:

  • Administration Building
  • The Cottage
  • ITC
  • Maple Hall
  • Campbell Hall
  • HSS/Bellamy Hall
  • APSC

Faculty and students, please communicate with each other regarding missed classes.

Staff, if you are able to work remotely, please do so. If you are unable to work remotely, you will still be paid for the work day. Please work with your supervisor.

If you have classes or work in buildings on campus not listed above, the water is safe to drink and restrooms and kitchens are operable. Business as usual.

This is an ongoing situation and we will provide an update this afternoon.

Thank you.
