Fire Hydrant Flushing

Department(s):

Facilities Office

The fire hydrants around campus will be flushed tomorrow. As a result, you may notice streams of water on certain sidewalks, alleyways, or coming out of pipes attached to certain buildings. You may also notice brown water coming from the faucets, which is perfectly normal. If that is the case, allow the water to run until it runs clear. Fire alarms will be shut off for several minutes while each building is being flushed. There will be a team of people monitoring this event. 

We apologize for the inconvenience.
