Update: Campus buildings

Longwood community,

Water pressure is returning to Longwood, and we will proceed with opening campus buildings at 12 noon.

Because of the town's boil water advisory that is in place, do not use campus water fountains or kitchenettes today.

Notice: Water issue update

Longwood community,

The town of Farmville has located the source of the water leak and resolved the issue. Pressure is being restored to town and campus, and will continue to rise toward normal levels throughout the day.

We expect to be able to open Longwood's campus buildings at 12 noon today. We will confirm this in a status update by 11:15 a.m.

If you are on campus, please do not use the water fountains today. Farmville has issued a boil-water advisory for all tap water.

Farmville water shortage – town information

Information from the Town of Farmville (please visit farmvilleva.com for status updates from town):

Be advised the town is currently experiencing a water issue. Public Works is out investigating the issue at this time. While they are out, you may experience a water outage or low water pressure.
