I imagine a lot of us will feel less bad at reading this - redacted for obvious reasons.
An email I received yesterday about one of our locations.
Dear Colleagues
At 16:30hrs this evening we had to make a decision to close @@. The Landlord's team at @@ were working on the main water supply and unfortunately the joints failed causing water to flood the minus 1 carpark area and also causing further flooding to the stairwells. There are critical monitoring rooms situated on this floor including the lift motor room, therefore there was a risk with further issues such as the electrics in the building. Thank you to all of you who left the building promptly when asked.
The Landlord and our @@ team on site have been working all evening to move forward to get the building in operation for tomorrow. However. due to the following reasons we have decided the building will remain closed on Friday 7th June. You will also find some other useful information below:

The Landlord and our @@ team on site have been working all evening to move forward to get the building in operation for tomorrow. However. due to the following reasons we have decided the building will remain closed on Friday 7th June. You will also find some other useful information below:
- Significant work needs to be carried out to clear the stairwells and entrance area from the car park in to our building.
- Humidifiers also need to be brought in to dry out the floor and as you can imagine reduce any smell from this flooding.
- The Lift suppliers will be on site in the morning - the lift shaft has been flooded and as a result they are out of order until assessed and the water has dried out.
- The revolving doors will also need to assessed with the Supplier for any damage.
- Due to the water flow issues this evening, we will have @@ on site to do a check on the water supply.
- @@ will also be on site tomorrow morning to assess the catering area and the vending company also. We will not have catering facilities up and running on time as a result.
- If you do need to access the building to collect critical items you need for your job please do use the front main entrance and Staff will be on site. A reminder you will NOT be able to access the building from the car park underground.
- You will receive a further communication tomorrow advising you on the status - our objective is to get back up and running on Monday with all key facilities on site.
- Security number on site : @@ for any critical issues you may have.
- We will also do a check on the rooms booking database and notify as many people as we can.
