No cold water at the brew house

I stopped by this morning before work to make a starter for my beer tomorrow and we have no cold water. I checked everything I could with the time I had but couldn't figure it out. Did someone turn off a valve that they shouldn't have turned off yesterday?  I tried turning on the water that would go into the chiller also and had no pressure.

Same thing happened to me

Same thing happened to me last time I came into brew. Someone keeps mistaking the cold water valve for the valve that actually turns off the chiller hose water. 

So most likely the cold water valve (behind station #3) is off.

*edit. I'll try to label the water lines tomorrow with white duct tape so they'll be more intuitive.

Cold water was indeed working

Cold water was indeed working last night. As I closed down shop the only water valves I shut off were between Brew Stations 3 + 4 (that tangle of hoses running water to the sinks). 

 

If you're still there, check those. I believe that to be standard procedure to keep the sink spray nozzles from blazing apart/leaking. If that is not the case, please advise. I don't believe I've ever been last one out and expected to be finished before Sean. Sorry for any troubles,

I'm fairly sure we aren't

I'm fairly sure we aren't shutting down the water supply each night. Unless another board member knows differently, don't shut off the water supply unless we have a leak or issue that needs addressed.   Better safe than sorry last night.

Brandon replaced the faulty

Brandon replaced the faulty sprayer a week or two ago, so we don't need to shut it off.
