Discolored Water/Stamford Area

Posted on October 31, 2006 by PB

Please do not drink from the water fountains on campus.

Ed Anderson has been in contact with Bridgeport Hydraulics regarding the rust-colored water that we are currently noticing on campus. He was informed that this problem is being experienced in several areas in Stamford, and the source of the discoloration is being checked by the water company.

Until the situation is resolved, please do not drink the water from fountains.

No time estimate was given for the resolution of this problem.

As a reminder, please do not drink from the public water supply until this is rectified.
