URGENT: EMERGENCY WATER SHUTDOWN

Please be advised that due to an accidental break of a main water distribution line, a major emergency water shutdown is in effect immediately (July 7, 2008, 13:00). We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and anticipate that this emergency shutdown will be in effect for 6 to 8 hours.

During this period, the following buildings will be evacuated and closed as they will have no fire protection, emergency showers and eye-wash stations:

• FDA
• Wilson Hall
• Arts Building
• Dawson Hall
• McConnell Engineering
• Macdonald Engineering
• Redpath Museum

An assessment of the water pressure available to the following buildings is being conducted. If a shutdown of these buildings is required, we will send a follow-up notice.

• Administration Building
• James Ferrier
• Power House

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause. We hope to have water restored within the shortest time possible.
