Classes canceled at IU Southeast today
Water main break temporarily shuts down campus
Indiana University Southeast was closed today [Monday] after a water main break disrupted service to the campus.
The water main broke around midnight between Hillside Hall and Orchard Lodge. There were reports of water outages in buildings across campus, including the on-campus lodges, a news release from IUS says.
By 5 a.m., water was restored to several classroom buildings. At 10 a.m., water was restored to the majority of campus, with the exception of Orchard Lodge and University Center.
Crews are working to restore water to those buildings as soon as possible.
Repairs will continue today, as will the investigation into the cause of the water main break. Classes will remain canceled today as repairs are finished.
The lodges will remain open, but residents have been informed not to consume tap water until they are notified repairs are complete. Residents living in Orchard Lodge will have access to restroom facilities in the neighboring lodges. The campus expects to have water restored to Orchard Lodge on Monday afternoon.
The campus fully anticipates to reopen on a normal schedule Tuesday.

Settlements reached in Floyd Co. Jail lawsuit
Settlements have been reached to pay 46 of 48 inmates named in a lawsuit against the Floyd County Jail, which alleges the jail staff failed to protect them from staph and MRSA infections, according to attorneys for the plaintiffs. The lawsuit, filed as Walker v. Floyd County in the U.S. District Court in February 2007, alleged that inmates were left to dress the infectious wounds of other inmates and that medical staff would routinely dismiss symptoms as “spider bites” and refused to enter cells to treat infected inmates.
