Emergency Water Shut-Down ILLC

Thursday Nov 3rd, 2011, 4:21pm

Student Housing Services would like to thank you for your patience and understanding over the ILLC emergency water shut-down today.

We experienced a sewage back-up last night due to the building piping shifting away from the city sewage line. The water was shutdown at that point to stop the flooding that occurred in the main floor of the ILLC.

Update: At this point, we are hopeful to have the repairs and the water back on by this evening.

In preparation for the water being turned back on, please be sure to switch any bathroom sink taps and/or tub taps to the off position, including lounge sink taps to ensure we do not have a second flood. RA's will be inspecting each residence room in the ILLC to ensure that all taps have been turned off when the water is shut back on.

For the time being, there is bottled water available at the ILLC residence service desk should you require it.

As a reminder ILLC students have been provided access to the single floors in Pitman Hall to use the common washrooms/showers.  Please show your residence identification card at the Pitman Hall residence services desk and then take the elevators to your assigned floor below:

ILC 2, 3 & 4 -  Use Pitman 6

ILC 4 & 5 - Use Pitman 7

ILC 6 & 7 - Use Pitman 8

ILC 7 & 8 - Use Pitman 9

ILC 9 & 10 - Use Pitman 10

ILC 10 & 11 - Use Pitman 11

Please be careful while walking in the ILLC first floor/lobby as there are lots of equipment around that could pose as a tripping hazard.

The Pitman Cafeteria and Pit-110 are open spaces close to a washroom that students are more than welcome to occupy until the water has been turned back on.

Update: Domestic water was restored to the ILLC at 6:15pm Thursday Nov 3rd, 2011.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at housing@ryerson.ca, 416-979-5284 or visit Pit-100
