Call it an “uh-oh” moment. A utility crew digging near Lot 4 hit an unmarked water pipe Thursday morning. As a result, a geyser erupted that made University Drive nearly impassable.


Honestly, with the heat advisory and temps approaching 100 degrees, the thought of running through it did cross my mind. According to our Facebook comments, I wasn’t the only one considering it.

When Central Arkansas Water arrived, the water had to be shut off to repair the pipe. Several buildings, including our office and the DSC, lost bathroom privileges for about four hours.



We do appreciate the hard work of the crews making the repairs in that oppressive heat.
