The good news just keeps on rolling

RUSM Community-

To bring everyone up to date on the current problems we're experiencing with respect to our potable water distribution system, the following update is forwarded to your information and use. Please pass along to colleagues and classmates to ensure that everyone understands the current situation. There are two separate problems that we are working to resolve at this time.

An email update was forwarded Friday afternoon regarding a small water leak near classroom #4 and the library area. After completing some initial investigation of the problem, it was determined that the pipe could not be fixed within a reasonable timeframe to avoid impacting community use of the restrooms prior to the exam week. Water to all sections of campus was restored Friday evening, but the Library, Classroom #4/ICM & Classroom #1 restrooms have experienced lower than normal pressure since that time as a result of the small leak.

Sometime between midnight and 6:30am this morning, our main water line received a large pressure surge from the local water system. We have not been able to determine the cause of the surge, but have confirmed that a pipe fitting attached to our main water line shifted underground, causing the water pressure to drop on the entire campus. The maintenance team mobilized quickly this morning and is nearing completion of temporary fixes for both the main water line break, as well as the break in the line serving the Library, Classroom #1, Old Administration & Classroom #4/ICM restrooms.

The restroom pavilion backup water system was energized this morning at 8:00am and is currently operational. Classroom #4, Classroom #6 and Executive Office Bldg restrooms have been closed. All other restrooms remain open for community use. The grounds maintenance and housekeeping teams have brought emergency water supplies from RUH (this water is being stored in the large blue drums around campus). This water will support the more frequent cleaning required during this water curtailment.

Water fountains will remain closed until water supply is fully restored to the campus. After the temporary repairs are complete, our plumbers and housekeeping staff will conduct a full survey of all restrooms to ensure that they are clean, functional and well stocked will supplies prior to our teams departure this evening.

Additional information will be forwarded as it becomes available.

But if I look at another page it says that there is a disbursement fee. What is going on?
