Ross Hall experiences ‘severe flooding’ after pipe burst

A distilled water pipe ruptured in Ross Hall Saturday, prompting University officials to switch off the line until it is repaired.

“Full damage estimates have yet to be determined — equipment and systems will be assessed to determine the extent of the damages,” Michael Chapman, assistant vice president for media, marketing and communications for the Medical Center, said.

The University said in a Medical Center News e-mail that the flooding was “severe” in the “southeastern sector of the building.”

Classes will continue to take place at their normal locations because the flooding did not affect any classrooms, he said. There is no time frame for when the water line — currently under repair — will turn back on.
