8/14/26: Emergency Domestic Water Shutdown in Snell Hall

Posted on by

Effective Date(s): August 14, 2026

The domestic water has been shut down to Snell Hall until further notice while we repair a failed backflow preventer. This will affect domestic water throughout the building, including water in restrooms, drinking fountains and custodial closets.

Restrooms will be available in surrounding buildings during the shutdown. We will provide an update when the water service has been restored.

EH&S has asked us to remind building occupants that water will not be available to emergency eyewash/shower units, and occupants should discontinue all hazardous substance use (chemicals, unsealed radioisotopes, and biohazardous materials) for the duration of the shutdown.
