Lowell, MA- At approximately 1:45 p.m. at Lowell High School, there was a pipe burst in the Chorus room 026 located in the basement.

No students or staff were harmed by the minor flooding. Custodial staff arrived minutes later to turn off the water and begin the clean up.

Early in the day, the basement of the older yellow building known as the 1920 building was excessively cold throughout the morning, according to students.

After the day went on, the pipe just burst from the ceiling of the Chorus room. The cause of the pipe to burst led many students to believe extreme cold temperatures had contributed to the incident.

Water began pouring out of the ceiling at the beginning of the 7th period.
