After Normal Duty Hours & Weekend
Customer Service Issues
Due to budget crisis, DPW will only be responding to Life, Health, & Safety (LHS) issues called in to the
after hour and weekend Customer Services lines, 263-4613 & 263- 4274. It is important customers call in
only LHS issues. If issue(s) are questionable, your call will be directed to the Operations & Maintenance,
subject matter experts. Since DPW understands some issues are subjective, below is a list of examples
you can report:
 Unscheduled water or power outages
 Major water leaks which may cause collateral damage to the facility or personal property
 Plumbing issues (toilet or sinks)
 Inoperable refrigerators (to prevent perishables from spoiling)
 Downed power lines, shorted outlets
 Structural Damage from: wind, rain, flood, and earthquakes
 Broken glass in windows or doors

Avoiding Mold Issues
In Your Quarters
 Maintain your air-conditioner (A/C) settings at 25.5 Degrees Celsius or 78 Degrees Fahrenheit
 Humidity levels should be between 30 and 50 percent (dehumidifiers are available at the Post Exchange)
NOTE: Most dehumidifiers need to be monitored so the sump tray will not overflow with water
 Keep all windows and doors closed (operating A/C systems with the doors and windows open causes
condensation)
 If you are going on an extended trip (7 days or more) please notify the Housing Division so they can
provide you with a check list of essential items before closing up your quarters such as:
- leave your A/C systems operating at low speed and at 85 Degrees Fahrenheit
- leave your closets and indoor room doors open
- leave your bathroom ventilation fans operating
- do not leave any dehumidifiers operating
- do not leave any damp laundry laying out
 Remediation:
- Light surface mold can be removed by diluting 1 cup of bleach in a gallon of water and apply to the
area
with a spray bottle or dampened sponge
- Any heavy or reoccurring mold issues please call DPW customer service line 263-4613 / 263-4274
