water system was not overloaded during the hydrant check
But Walbridge, a plumber with 30 years experience, said he thought the water line was fine.
"When you put 3,000 (kilograms per minute) on the system I knew something was going to give you trouble."
He said that at one point during the testing three pumps were working at the power plant, producing a flow of 3,000 gallons per minute through the lines. The power plant pumps normally push the water through at an average rate of 1,300 gallon a minute to produce 90 to 100 pounds of pressure at outlets across campus, Wabridge said.
Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations, said he did not think the caused the break but added that any weak points usually appeared during test periods.
"It is better that it shows up while we're testing at midnight Sunday night," he said.
ANDERSON SAID because the water line did not have a device called an isolation valve, which would shut down water at the building, the water supply had to be turned off at a valve at Fifth Street and Nismith Drive, cutting off water to the Satellite Union as well.
personnel had arrived at the scene to begin cleaning up and to dig to find the break.
"The isolation valve was one of the first things the architect cut out to save money." Anderson
This is not the first time the building has flooded, said Phil Endrocott, assistant director of bioflooding.

Endacott said that with every two-inch rain the drain near one of the flooded rooms would become empty.
DURING CONSTRUCTION of Green Hall, which began in 1975, an interior ground wall collapsed and a more extensive problem emerged. A large exterior concrete panels cracked and fell off.
The panels were patched and the entire surface was sandblasted to produce a uniform aperture.

If a student picks a class that is full, the computer will list all available sections still open for that class and will highlight those that will fit into the student's schedule.
That students will sit facing the computer screen is part of what makes the KU system better than those used at other universities, Thompson said.

BUFFALO, N.Y.—A new study suggests prolonged retention of the diaphragm for birth control may increase the risk of developing toxic infections and fatal illness previously linked to tampon use.
The study, headed by Elizabeth Baehler of the State University of New York at Buffalo, found that extra-long use of the diaphragm in the vagina increased overgrowth in the cervix and vagina of staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria implicated in the disease.
Despite increases in the bacterial colonies, researchers said none of the women developed ticks.
Previous studies have shown that superabsorbent tampons, when retained for prolonged periods, increase the risk of toxic shock syndrome. Some physicians have suggested that use of the diapragm may be linked to the disease, but the study provides the first known evidence linking toxic shock bacteria to the birth control device.
Arthur Reingold of the national Center for Disease Control in Atlanta said he had not seen the study report and was not disputing it, but he believed that it was in "reviewing and evaluating" the findings.
"If I told you I contracted toxic shock syndrome after drinking a glass of milk, that would not necessarily mean I got the disease
The study, co-authored by William Dillon, an assistant professor of obstetrics-gynecology at the school, will be outlined tomorrow at a meeting of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists-District Two on Maui, Hawaii.
"It is recommended by manufacturers of diaphragms that they be worn at least six hours following intercourse, and no longer than 24 hours." Dillon said.
He said that to be on the safe side, until additional research clarifies the situation, women should remove the device within 12 to 18 hours.
Dillon told United Press International that researchers believe toxic shock syndrome is caused by toxins produced by certain strains of staphylococcus aureus. The toxins are normally removed from the lower genital tract by menstrual and other vaginal secretions.
Tampons, as well as the diaphragm, block their exit and enable the poisons to enter the blood supply through breaks or ruptures in the mucous membrane, Dillon said.
The study screened 183 non-pregnant women between 19 and 34 years of age for the organism at Children's Hospital in Buffalo. Each of 19 women who had positive cultures of the bacteria was tested twice later and fitted with diaphragms in rim and cup with the spermicide Gynol II.

A high-performance floor-standing speaker for less than $200?
But the new A100 from Boston Acoustics has changed all that.
The A100 is an affordable two-way speaker system with a wide frequency range (solid bass down to 32 Hz), incredibly smooth tonal balance and very wide dispersion.
But what really makes the A100 stand out from the other speakers in (and above) its price range is the feeling of "bigness" to its sound. The tall-wide-and-thin cabinet design of the A100 results in clean stereo imaging and a feeling of spaciousness that you won't find in a conventional bookshelf loudspeaker.
Until recently, a high-performance, full-range, floor-standing speaker system could not be had for less than $200.
Come in soon and hear the Boston Acoustics A100 for yourself.
We think you'll agree it's the finest loudspeaker we we've ever offered for under $200.
