Hamerschlag & Scaife Water and Electrical Service Notice
8:05 a.m., Friday, May 24, 2013
Dear Members of the Campus Community:
At approximately 5:30 AM today a 4” water line broke on the D level of Hamerschlag Hall, flooding both the D Level and F Level of that building and causing significant damage in those spaces. The water line has been shut off and FMS crews are working to remove the water and begin restoration.
Hamerschlag Hall
There is no water service to Hamerchlag Hall currently, with expected resolution later today. There is electric service to the entire building, but it is likely that electric service will need to be shut down at various times during stabilization and repair. Both elevators are currently operating, but occupants should expect interruptions to elevator service.
Scafe & Roberts Halls
Water service has been lost to Scaife Hall and the Fire Alarm system in Roberts Hall is in an alarm condition. FMS anticipates correcting these conditions within the day. Both Scaife and Roberts have electrical service intact.
Appreciating the inconvenience, we ask that those in Hamerschlag and Scaife use restroom facilities in adjacent buildings.
Updates will be provided via the FMS Announce system as new information becomes available. Questions or concerns should be directed to Marty Altschul at 412-268-2529.
Sincerely,
Marty Altschul
University Engineer
