ELECTRICAL SERVICE
Due to the existing conditions of the electrical
equipment and the overwhelming evidence of flooding
within the basement,
a serious and potentially life threatening electrocution
hazard may be created should occupants enter the
basement upon signs of flooding.
It is strongly recommended that no building occupant
(staff or the public) enter the basement upon signs of
flooding until the water infiltration issue can be rectified
and the electrical equipment has been deemed safe.
