Sprinklers flood PSU bookstore - again
PORTLAND, Ore. - A broken water pipe flooded out the basement of PSU’s student bookstore Monday morning.
Crews estimate 10,000 gallons of water poured from the ceiling, damaging books, clothing and other merchandise.
It is the second time in as many years that similar incidents have taken place. The university paid for an expensive upgrade to make sure it didn't happen again.
The main part of the bookstore will be open Monday but crews will still be working to pump out the standing water from the basement.
As much as four feet of standing water was present when the flooding was discovered.
