Water was leaking into multiple rooms and initial thoughts were a water pipe had broken. Upon investigating, it was determined rainwater was being sucked into the HVAC units and pushed into the facility. After determining the source of the infiltration, Jason and David stayed to help clean up the water. Thanks to their quick response, damage to the facility was minimized. Their actions reflect the city's core values of responsibility, service and teamwork and are a testament to the caliber of staff in the Facilities Department. I.
