Showers and restrooms were installed before we got here, but they can't be too old, maybe a year or so. These are free standing buildings, each large enough to hold about 8 shower stalls and sinks. I wrote earlier about some of the problems with the showers. These buildng are up on cement blocks, so air can circulate underneath. Anyway, most of the buildings leak. Whether it's just water, or gray water, I'm not sure, but some of the puddles underneath the buildings are green or otherwise look pretty nasty. Some of these puddles extend out into our walking area. I don't understand how PVC pipe under a building, not subject to freezing or being bumped into, can spring leaks, especially so soon after installation.
Many of the water heaters for the bathrooms and showers don't work. Again, only a year or so old, and already the heating elements have quit working.
A new laundry facility was recently installed, maybe a month or so ago. Very nice. 50 washers and 100 dryers, or thereabouts. Brand new W&D, new building, new everything. Well, almost immediately the dryers started blowing circuit breakers. The wiring was insufficient to handle the load. Next, dryers started conking out, probably due to bad power. Then washers broke down. I saw several that were full of water, wouldn't drain. As of a couple of days ago, the entire facility was shut down. I heard that a fire broke out in the wiring.
We still have another self laundry facility available, and we can turn laundry into KBR, so we have clean clothes.
