Campus community: Farmville has issued a boil water advisory for all town tap water. Because of this, LUPD and the Office of Emergency Management will have bottles of water available to students who need drinking water this evening. Bottles can be picked up starting at 6 pm in the Lewis Room on the ground floor of D-Hall. Limit two bottles per student.

Campus community, Town crews have located and isolated the water leak that has caused widespread water pressure issues throughout town. Water pressure should be returning slowly over the evening and into tonight as the water tank fills back up. Crews expect full pressure at some point tomorrow. Please note that sediment in the pipes has been stirred because of the work on the pipes, and sink water may be slightly discolored this evening.

Campus community, The Town of Farmville is reporting widespread water issues across town. Areas of campus are affected, including residence halls, Lancer Park, and Midtown Landings. Currently, D-Hall is planning to continue operating on normal weekend hours today. We are staying in close contact with Town staff as they work to identify the source of the problem and restore water pressure to the community. We will update you with more information when it is available.

Update on Police Activity Tonight Farmville and LUPD received a report of a possible gunshot near Pierson Hall. An initial investigation revealed conflicting accounts of the potential source of the noise. The investigation has found that the report of a gunshot is unsubstantiated. The investigation is continuing and police will continue to monitor the area on patrol through the night.

We are anticipating more winter weather over the weekend. The National Weather Service is forecasting possible snow in our area, and we are continuing to monitor the forecast and will share any updates as needed. The home men’s basketball game vs. High Point remains scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday, 1/31) at 3 p.m. in JPB. To prepare for more winter weather and continued cold temperatures, we wanted to share some important information: With additional snow, new accumulations will fall onto existing ice from the last storm—please use caution if you are going out. Once any precipitation stops falling, grounds crews will begin clearing pathways to campus buildings. Our grounds crews and facilities team have worked very hard throughout the past week to make campus accessible. Be aware that a path and at least one entrance to each building has been cleared, with ADA accessible entrances prioritized. However, you may need to allow for extra time to get to your destination and deviate from your regular route. There is an extreme cold watch in effect over the weekend through early Sunday, with sub-zero wind chills possible. Please dress properly for these extended cold temperatures we are experiencing, including wearing hats and gloves, multiple layers, and boots/shoes that help provide traction (such as rubber soles). Crews continue ice-breaking efforts in campus-maintained parking lots, but ongoing below-freezing temperatures and an extended cold forecast mean compacted ice will remain on parking surfaces for some time. Students are responsible for shoveling out and clearing their own vehicles before attempting to move them. Please stay safe and warm!
