A twelve-hour potable-water outage is scheduled to start at 8 p.m., Saturday and end at 8 a.m., Sunday. The affected buildings include 703 (Café Pacifi c and Bakery), 704 (Macy’s, Snackbar, UPH), 706 (Post Offi ce), 712 (Mini-Mall), 721 (Chiller Building), and 728 (Boiler Plant). Every effort will be made to reduce the length of the outage and restore water pressure as soon as possible. Call Stan Jazwinski at 51847 or Hilton Crutchfi eld at 59081, for more information.

Dining services will be limited during Saturday-Monday due to replacement and repair of potable water mains to dining facilities. The water line work is a part of preparations for the upcoming demolition of the Pacifi c Bachelor Quarters. After the replacement/repair of the pipe is completed, dining facilities will not be able to resume full normal operations until tests confi rm that there is no problem with use of the water. The combined effect of pipe work and water testing will result in up to 36 hours of limited water availability in dining facilities beginning Saturday evening. Dining services personnel have worked with the chief medical offi cer and sanitarian to develop an interim operational plan that continues to provide basic food service while assuring that there is zero risk to customers. Clearance for return to normal operations is expected by early Monday. Specifi c changes for dining facilities are:

Cafe Paciﬁ c : Bakery: --Meal service will be limited to unaccompanied personnel all day Sunday, --Usual hours of operation and for breakfast on Monday. --Limited pastries on Sunday and Monday. --Continental breakfast for Sunday and Monday. --For Sunday espresso will not be available but other --Box lunches for brunch on Sunday. drinks will be available as usual --Limited hot menu for dinner on Sunday. --Return to normal services for Monday lunch. --Return to normal services for Monday. Dining Services and CMO will update the public Three Palms Snack Bar: about any changes or extension to these limitations via --Early 7 p.m. closure on Saturday. roller announcements in the unlikely event that plans --Closed all day Sunday. change. --Return to normal services on Monday morning.
