South Hall’s plumbing issues were resolved this past week, but the electrical issues still remain, according to Steve Valencia.
The associate vice president for University Relations said South Hall was experiencing issues with its plumbing during the first two weeks of this fall semester after sediment got inside the water lines following a broken water main in Alva.
The sediment clogged the lines running to the dorms, and it resulted in stopped up sinks and leaking air conditioners.
“Maintenance worked really hard on resolving the plumbing issues,” Valencia said.
Valencia said, the plumbing issues were finally resolved this past week.
Furthermore, the costs of all the repair work, damaged equipment and man-hours are still being calculated because of other issues that keep arising with the electric, according to Valencia.
No damage to the rooms due to the stopped up sinks has been reported at this time.
In addition, Valencia said some issues with the electric are still arising.
“We are still finding a few things that are broken and need repaired,” he said.
Valencia said if students experience further issues with either their plumbing or any other additional issues, they should contact housing right away so they can get resolved as quickly as possible.
Head resident of South Hall, Morgan Renbarger said, “Maintenance has been working really hard to get everything back to normal at South Hall, and we appreciate the work they are putting in.”
She added, “The plumbing issues have been unfortunate and I appreciate the residents patience while we get it worked out.”
