NEWS: Status of Gas Service/Hot Water in 122

The following sign was posted in the lobby and common areas Saturday afternoon or evening (I saw it around 7:30pm. Can anyone comment on the time the signs were actually posted?).

Unfortunately, my line is not one of the lucky ones. Residents in E, G and H apartments received this notice on our doors:

So there are a few things that don't make sense here.

Residents in "failed lines" are asked to stay home on Monday, but then it says that "plumbers will start reconnecting tomorrow at 8am." So will they be knocking on our doors tomorrow or Monday?

And then there's the "we ask that residents be home or arrange to have someone to stay home" thing... Um, isn't someone who "stays home" by definition a resident? Yes, I know what they mean, but it's just more illiterate writing from Management. Sigh.
