Anybody have any details on the water outage on the campus of UNC Asheville? I hear that there’s a problem with the water pipes, and that the school is bringing in and setting up Porta Johns around campus.
What’s going on?

Water restored this afternoon around 2:30. Pressure so high that when a friend drank from the fountain, water shot 2 feet in the air and knocked his glasses right off.
Thanks Jennifer!
From a UNCA email:
Latest update: November 20, 11am
This morning, flow at the main water line feeding campus was disrupted and there is currently a water outage affecting the entire University.
<SNIP more than anyone wants to know about porta-johns and hand-washing stations.>
Currently the best estimate for water being restored to campus is approximately 3pm. We will continue to update throughout the day as we have more information and as information changes.

It’s not TOO bad here yet. Bathrooms are very third-world but the cafe was still running with paper plates and plastic forks. I’m sorry for the students who live on campus.
