Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
Due to a Baltimore City water main break early this morning, the UMBC main campus experienced a water outage across a majority of its buildings and facilities. Campus facilities staff have been in constant communication with Baltimore City emergency maintenance crews throughout the day. Thank you for your patience.
As of 1:30 p.m., water flow has been fully restored to the campus. However, as a result of the water outage and subsequent closure of campus today, some operations and Homecoming events have been impacted.
