Scene note

Check SPU's current outage, advisory, and emergency information. Record whether the change is hot-only, cold-only, one fixture, several fixtures, building-wide, or shared by nearby properties.

First five minutes

Put these five details on the same page

Each note narrows the conversation without pretending to reveal a concealed cause.

Current advisory

Read the active SPU notice rather than relying on an old screenshot.

Hot or cold

Separate each side without consuming water during a safety concern.

Fixture spread

Record where the change appears and where it does not.

Building reports

Ask management whether common work or other units show the same condition.

Authority response

Preserve the utility reference and exact instruction given for the address.
