In support of OFPM, the Operations and Maintenance team will shut down the domestic water systems in the building. The shutdown is part of the domestic water backflow preventer repairs.
Date: September 13th, 2025
Time: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Impact: All sinks, including lab sinks, will not have hot or cold water available during this time. All Men’s, Women’s, and All-Gender restrooms will be out of service. Breakrooms/kitchen sinks will not have hot or cold water available during this time.
In addition, emergency eyewash/showers will not be in service during this time.
Safety Impact: There will be no domestic water in the emergency showers/eye wash stations. During this time, laboratory personnel are not to work with corrosive chemicals, cause permanent tissue damage or severe irritation, or are toxic by skin/eye absorption, or engage in any BSL-2 work that is not in a biosafety cabinet.
If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me.
