AUSTIN, Texas – Students at a West Campus apartment complex say their power is back on after a frustrating outage during move-in weekend.
FOX 7 Austin’s Tan Radford spoke to residents of the Rise at West Campus Apartments on Saturday who told her they woke up in the morning without power or air conditioning.
In addition, there was no running water and the elevators were out of service.
“I got an email saying the power was out and our elevators weren’t working. About an hour later, after reading the email, I realized the water wasn’t working,” resident Zarina Ards said Saturday.
Concerns about Rise at West Campus
Students living in a west campus apartment complex say they have no power, no water, no air conditioning and no answers.
In a statement to FOX 7 Austin on Saturday, the complex said it “experienced an issue with air conditioning (on Saturday) due to a power outage at our West Campus property in Austin.” The complex also said it offered alternative housing while the issue was resolved.
