Something you just don't want to hear from the physical plant people...



"There have been several complaints about the taste and color of the domestic water in the [building]. Kentucky American Water company has been contacted and stated that water problems are due to the fact that they pumped water from the Richmond road reservoir into the water system.

Even though the water is a little colored and tastes like dirt, they assured us that is safe for consumption. Water hydrants are going to be flushed in the area to remedy the problem. It may last for a couple of days. During this period, you may want to drink bottled water."

And yes, that's the same reservoir that the creek with the chemical spill empties into. The reservoir got so full the other day Richmond Road flooded. Maybe that's part of the reason.
