Water pipe issue at Edison

I would like to make you aware of an issue with the main water pipe beneath our school. The pipe is in need of repairs after it broke this weekend. The water is not coming into our school, but the needed repair will require an alternate plan to provide our school with fresh water while the issue is fixed. DPS contractors will temporarily re-route fresh water through piping into the school. The water source is the same source as the main water line, but it will be routed through a temporary hose/pipes. The damaged water pipe will be shut off while construction crews repair it. It is estimated to take 7-10 days to repair the pipe.

 

I am assured that fresh water will be accessible to our building through this entire process. Other than a water hose/pipe being visible from our playground, our staff and students should not be affected by this repair.

 

As a result, the water to the school will be turned off at 3:45 PM and will be off until school starts in the morning. Therefore, Kaliedoscope and after school programs for today have been cancelled. This should NOT impact our school day tomorrow or throughout the repairs.

 

I will continue to receive updates on progress being made to the repair, and I will let you know if any changes occur to the timeline.

 

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

 

Sally Whitelock
