ARB Domestic Water Service Disruption, 2:30 p.m. on Aug. 3 to 5 p.m. on Aug. 4

Domestic water service in the Allan Rosenfield Building will be temporarily unavailable from 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 3, until approximately 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 4, due to repairs.
While we conduct the repairs, the following services will be unavailable:

• Hot or cold water for bathrooms and faucets; during this time, please use nearby restrooms in Hammer Health Sciences Center or the Neurological Institute.
• Sterilization, dishwashers, autoclaves, glass washers, and steam tables
• Reverse osmosis (RO) water service
• Eyewash devices and overhead safety showers

Cold rooms, environmental boxes, and supplemental air conditioning units will not be affected and will be monitored throughout the shutdown.

Please consider limiting research operations with significant potential for splash or face and bodily exposure during the shutdown.  

Facilities representatives will be on-site before, during, and after the shutdown to ensure water is fully restored to the building. Once service is restored, please allow faucets to run for 3-4 minutes to ensure constant flow and pressure. Water may appear brown at first, but will turn clear as it continues to run.

For any questions or concerns, contact Lucy Riederer, project manager, at lr3211@cumc.columbia.edu.
