Bwog correspondent Yelena Shuster reports:

There is an emergency water shutdown in Carman today from 10:30 AM-2:30 PM (see official email after the jump). Some unidentified suitemates, hauling their shower gear in Duane Reade bags, are stealthily walking over to Furnald to shower in the hall bathrooms. “What if someone has bladder problems?” muttered one girl angrily, after using her Poland Spring to brush her teeth and wash her hair in the sink.

Thank god for Columbia students and their ingenuity.
