The boil water advisory is still in effect for the campus and surrounding areas.
Campus will resume normal operations at 5 pm today, Tuesday, Nov. 6. Classes will resume at 8 am Wednesday, Nov. 7.
OWASA has announced that water storage levels have returned to normal and water conservation has been lifted. Some customers may see discoloration in their water due to sediment (non-harmful particles) being stirred-up in the pipes. Water must be boiled before it can be consumed. Drinking water sources, such as water fountains and ice machines, will not be operational until the boil water advisory is lifted, so those returning to campus should consider bringing bottled water.
For details on a boil advisory and how it affects water consumption, please visit the Orange County Health Department website.
