Broken Pipe Floods Rochester Hills Elementary School: Officials

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A Rochester Hills elementary school is closed Monday after a broken pipe flooded parts of the building over the weekend, according to school officials.

University Hills Elementary School officials canceled all classes, programs, activities, pre-K, Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) and the School-Age Care (SAC) program for Monday.

"On Saturday, it was discovered that the building experienced significant flooding, which appears to have been the result of a failed pipe coupling," school officials said in a statement. "RCS maintenance teams have been actively working to repair the cause, extract the water and dry the area. However, due to the extent of the damage, additional work needs to be done to better prepare the building for students."

School officials encouraged families to check to their email for updates.

University Hills Elementary School is part of the Rochester Community School District.
