The Physical Facility department is responsible for the water heat and it's repairs. The extreme course of action with the seized heat element could be cutting it out of the water tank with a torch and welding it back in place once cleaned. They understand inconvenience of this issue and continue to dedicate manpower until the issue is fixed. Until future notice please plan on water heater being down for an extended period of time. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

The Birck restrooms will continue to be without hot water well into Tuesday. Thanks for your patience and understanding. From: Kuhn, Jeffrey G Sent: Monday, November 07, 2011 2:52 PM To: Reger, Ronald K Subject: Hot Water Ron, The steam tube bundle in the hot water tank has seized inside of the sleeve due to scale buildup. The Trades are using Rydlyme to dissolve the scale, but this will take some time. Bottom line is that we will be without hot water throughout the night and well into tomorrow. Can you please let BNC All know the situation? Thanks. Jeff
