Some buildings do have department equipment on emergency power so please plan accordingly.

Hello All,

Want to make everyone aware that Torrey RO water will be shutdown and drained in order for Hydro to make a lab faucet change. This will occur Thursday 4/11 at 1pm. That will give the system the weekend to recover.

Respectfully,
Cheryl
