Water pressure fluctuation triggered fire alarms
March 8, 2017
Fire sprinkler system alarms sounded in several buildings March 7 after water pressure
fluctuated when a new 10-inch College Utilities pipe was connected to the campus water
supply.
The University Fire Department responded as quickly as possible. However, due to the
numerous alarms activated, it took longer than normal for the department to restore
the systems.
Scott Bell, associate vice chancellor for Facilities Services, does not expect this
to be a problem in the future. Facilities Services apologizes for the disruption to
the occupants of the affected buildings.
