LSU says water pressure issues are delaying whether or not they will be open tomorrow.

Water Company says there are no issues.

Due to concerns with low water pressure across Baton Rouge, LSU is delaying its decision on whether or not to open tomorrow until approximately 8:30 p.m. tonight.

Since adequate water pressure affects fire safety, as well as health and sanitation, LSU is waiting to see if water pressure across the city improves in the next few hours.

Baton Rouge Water Company denies issues with water pressure after LSU raises concerns



quote:

LSU sent out an alert Thursday evening telling people the university will make a decision later tonight on whether to open Friday due to "concerns with low water pressure across Baton Rouge."

But the Baton Rouge Water Company responded to the message by saying there have been no issues with water pressure, according to company spokesman Hays Owen.

"All is well here and our system is operating with pressures that are normal," Owen said in an email.

The company sent out a message to residents earlier in the day asking them to check pipes because unaddressed leaks could lead to a decrease in water pressure.

In ATL, Clark Atlanta university had their water turned off for non payment.

Clark Atlanta University is a historically black college.

Seems like an easy debate to settle.

Is the fricking water pressure in the city normal or not?

LSU is trying to save a little money by shutting down for 3.5 days this week.

I’ve known Hays for 50 years and I can guarantee he sent that email with a great smirk on his face.

Seems like if it's too dangerous to hold class there, it would be too dangerous for prople to sleep there.

I have a friend that lives on campus that said they did send out an email asking to conserve water.

Hosting classes for a large university over water issues is different than evacuating every on campus resident. Surely you understand the difference
