From the Registrar: October, 8 2024

Hello Gardeners,  

We have placed a work order with the UW plumbers to shut down the Garden water systems by Monday 10/14. The extended forecast is showing a possible low of 30 degrees that night, and we have to shut the water off if there is a chance of a freeze to protect the system. The order was placed today because we need to give the plumbers enough advance warning of the request. Once a work order is placed, we do not have a choice about when it will be done. The Gardens are a lower priority than other plumbing on campus, so our requests are completed within a window when they are available to help. This means that the water could be off as soon as tomorrow. If you are still watering any crops you may want to carry water in.  

Happy gardening, 

Lily
