Westgate Water Pipe Update 8.3.11

Work on the water line for Westgate is expected to begin on Thursday, August 4. A diagram of the project is available here: http://web.mit.edu/facilities/construction/westgate_water_upgrade_2011.pdf. Upgrades to the pipes are expected to increase the reliability and safety of the water supply to the Westgate buildings.

As a reminder, work is scheduled to begin at 8am and conclude at 3:30pm, Monday - Friday. A police detail will be present during construction hours to direct pedestrian traffic. Safety and project information will be posted in the area. Work is expected to last until early October.

There will be a community meeting to offer more details and answer questions on TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2011 at 7:30pm in the Basement Lounge of the high rise. In the meantime, please feel free to contact the Westgate house manager, Michael Collins, at collinsm@mit.edu or the Residential Life Associate (RLA), Jason McKnight, at jrmac@mit.edu with any questions or concerns.
