Water shutdown on parts of campus

There has been a water main break in the neighborhood on the east side of campus. The City of Arden Hills will be shutting off all water to the north end of campus at 9:30 a.m. The Berntsen Library, Nazareth Hall, Totino Fine Arts Center, Power House and Riley Hall will all be affected. We do not know how long the shutoff will last but will let you know as things progress. Please do not use any restrooms in the affected buildings during this shut off.

We will post updates here as we learn more about how long the shutdown will last and how campus services will be affected.
