And the breakdown of city infrastructure continues.

Please be advised that two 2-inch water lines at the intersection of Dallas and Bagby downtown were ruptured during the night. This affects the water and chilled water systems for City Hall, City Hall Annex, the Central Library and the Juila Ideson building facilities. Currently, we have no water or air conditioning at those facilities and repairs are expected to take most of the day.

These four buildings are being closed for today while repairs are made. Employees who work in these buildings are being temporarily re-assigned for the day to an alternate work site – their homes. Employees should be available to their supervisors throughout the day.

This does not affect all City employees. It applies ONLY to those employees working in these four buildings – City Hall, City Hall Annex, the Central Library and the Julia Ideson Building.

Bill White,
Mayor
