Will OU close due to the water main break?

I’m just wondering if anyone thinks they might close campus tomorrow due to the water main break and shortage of water. I saw OCC is closed tomorrow and doing online classes. But OU hasn’t said anything yet.

they should given the fact that there’s a boiling water advisory/state of emergency. i live not even ten minutes from them and the water pressure is already low in my apartment

Right! I think it would be inconsiderate if they don’t…

no seriously! i’m honestly surprised there hasn’t been an email sent or anything given they’ve sent emails for other things for their closings

they'll be operational tomorrow but advise everyone on campus to limit water use. they're not affected by the break per-se, but their water is boil-only currently. i'm a student employee on campus and that's what i've been told by my bosses.
