Evening classes in two buildings at Washtenaw Community College were canceled Tuesday night because of issues with the water main.

The problems were isolated to the Crane Liberal Arts and Science Building and the Family Education building.

Associate director of public affairs Janet Hawkins said WCC learned the water main was not delivering water to the two buildings Tuesday evening, but the college was able to fix the problem that night.

"We canceled classes in those two buildings, but by 11 p.m. it was fixed," said Hawkins. "We were able to open today with business as usual."

Hawkins said the buildings had to be closed because of the risks posed by not having water readily available, including not having functioning bathroom facilities available to students and faculty.
