Water breaks plague Northeast Texas Community College

The maintenance staff at Northeast Texas Community College has been busy this semester as a series of water system breakdowns plague the college. Since mid-August, the main campus has been forced to go without water five times due to leaks in its aging water system. Outages have varied from a few hours to more than half a day.
On the morning of fall in-service (the one day when all college faculty/staff gather to prepare for the new school year) a major water system break took out the entire campus, leaving the college without running water, working restrooms, and cafeteria services. Administrators altered schedules and provided employees with transportation to restroom facilities at the NTCC Agriculture Complex across the highway, which are on separate water/sewage systems. Other shorter outages since have left employees and students scrambling for off-campus restrooms during work and class hours.
