We have a steady drip of water coming down from the recently updated pipes. Apparently the pipe is cracked all the way up to the ceiling.
We've shut down the UPS and all the circuits around that corner of the lab. Facilities people are here looking into the issue.
There was quite a lot of water pooled around the west side of the optical table. Craig has mopped this up, although it did get under the table legs and under the tiles. All the electrical stuff under the table was on racks off the ground. Dripping is coming from pipes directly above the rack but it appears that none of it has made it into the rack itself. We are removing all the very valuable electronics (e.g. marconi and oscilloscopes) and none appear to have water on or around them.
Lasers are shut down.
