Please be advised that F&S crews are performing urgent repairs on South Oak Street because of a water main break earlier this morning. The water main break near the Nuclear Physics Laboratory and Oak Street Chiller Plant will narrow the road egress but will not require a closure. 

Individuals are requested to avoid this general area and use alternate routes for service vehicles until the work is completed. Thanks for your assistance and patience as the repairs are made.
