Bond Update - August 13, 1999WATER LINE WORK.During the course of campus construction, there will be occasions when work will be done on water lines. In order for work to occur, water mains that feed smaller lines are shut off. After work has been completed, the water mains are reopened. In so doing, the pressure of the water rushing through the pipes may result in several normal and safe scenarios. First, the pressure might 'descale' minimal amounts of iron from the sides of the pipes. Secondly, if the pipes have been altered, the rushing water could pick up trace amounts of iron residue from the new junctures. And finally, when water lines are reopened, it is quite possible that no iron residue whatsoever will enter the system. However, if the water picks up trace amounts of iron, it will generally be flushed out of the system in a few days from the date of work by incoming water from EWEB. Additionally, Facilities Management can open campus fire hydrants in order to help wash out any residue that might be in the system. Even so, it is possible that for one or two days after water line work, some persons may detect a bittersweet, astringent taste, or the water may have a rusty cast if allowed to stand exposed to air. Nevertheless, the water is perfectly safe to drink, to use in food preparation and for general use. In order to assure that work on water lines would produce no ill affects to LCC's water, Facilities Management recently had Analytical Laboratory and Consultants, Inc. test water samples after work was completed on waterlines in the site preparation area of the Science addition. As anticipated, all tests were free from any contaminates. The Bond Project Management Team(BPMT) will be available during summer hours to provide information and answer any questions that may arise. All communication received by the BPMT during summer months will be reviewed regularly by the team, the architects, and the Facilities Management Committee. The BPMT can be reached at 744-4154, Email to Nancy Nichols, or on the web at http://2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/campsvcs/main.html | |
