Sac State University Union plumbing problem closes food vendors
October 23, 2018
Sacramento State’s University Union had several food vendors and bathrooms close Monday and Tuesday afternoon due to a broken pipe.
According to Norma Sanchez, assistant director of operation for the University Union, the broken pipe was discovered Monday morning. The vendors closed around 2 p.m. to allow for repairs on the pipe.
The pipe was fixed enough for vendors to reopen Tuesday morning until after lunch hours. The vendors closed again at 3 p.m. Tuesday to allow repairs to continue.
The pipe also caused the bathroom on the first floor to close as well. The closures are a result of the pipes for vendors and one restroom all flowing in the same direction, according to Sanchez.
The pipes caused early closures today, but Sanchez says “tomorrow may be a different story,” as the plumbing issues will not be resolved until the plumbers reach the pipes causing the clogs.
The State Hornet will continue to update this story.
