Main break causes no harm to project

A minor irrigation main break occurred around noon Thursday in the Moudy Building atrium, but will have no effect on the reconstruction project, said Sprinkle n’ Sprout employee Troy Earheart.

The break happened after Benito Martinez, a Sprinkle ‘n Sprout worker, was digging the ground to clear the overgrown bushes, Earheart said.

Earheart said Sprinkle ‘n Sprout is in charge of the atrium reconstruction. The company, based in Roanoke, does about 98 percent of TCU’s ground work.

Improvements to the atrium began Monday. The completed project will include benches, a change of greenery, art sculptures and a better drainage system, organizers said.

The $25,000 project is being funded by the university and Student Government Association. Completion is expected by the end of the month.
