Greenwich High School is closed and all after school activities canceled due to a water leak in the Science Wing today, Tuesday, Sept. 8.
The water problem at Greenwich High School was due to a leak in a hot water storage tank in the lower level (below classrooms) of the Science wing. The tank had been repaired and inspected by an outside contractor as recently as August, and the tank had again been checked on Friday, Sept. 4.
Water was contained in the utility basement and has already been pumped out; the water tank will be replaced. Greenwich Public Schools Facilities Department is working with the Town’s Building Department to ensure all systems are functional before making any decisions on re-opening the school.
The next update will be available by 2 p.m. today.
