The plumbing in Pasteur Hall is weird. all of the cold water lines are flushed with really hot water about once an hour. Why? We don’t know - it might be a sanitation thing, and it might be a keep the pipes from freezing thing.
One day I noticed a related failure in the flushing of this toilet.
Fixed via a call to maintenance. I think they probably just tightened the nuts/collars holding the assembly together.
