Question about faucet in washroom
I'm in Les Prince with attached washroom and my faucet sprays water weakly. It comes out like a sprinkler (thin streams on outsides of circle) and it's very weak. Is everyone's like this or is my faucet broken? (I tried turning the cap on the end to tighten up the stream but no luck) Please let me know, it's a little frustrating.

Is this preventing you from doing things easily? i.e. wash your hands etc?

If so, you can put in a work order at the NQ service desk and they can get someone to fix it for you...it just may take a little bit.

Yeah it is harder to wash my hands and stuff. I was wondering if the whole building is like this or if my tap has something wrong with it.

you could also try soaking the faucet in CLR.

i'm pretty sure it's just your room. i lived in les prince last year and yeah, my tap and shower were kinda weak, but they weren't so weak that i couldn't carry out my daily activities normally. you might wanna put in a work order like lorend said.

I know when I lived in the West Village Condos, they put something on the taps so that it would use less water. They might have done that in your bathroom. You can always ask the service desk about it and possibly put in a work order.

The washroom next to the Les Prince Conference room does the opposite. It's like a massive waterfall and it ends up all over the floor and all. I should work order that and you should work order yours as well. If it doesn't get resolved within a week talk to your IRC reps (Kayla or Conrad).

Put in a work order, we had some problems with our washroom equipment first year in Keyes and the guys were very quick and helpful in fixing the problem. Leave it to the professionals =)
