The construction was intended to upgrade the piping The construction was intended to upgrade the piping, but it was not related to the corroding of the pipes that happened in the past, Barron said.

The U has had a history of problems with pipes in the past few years, and the pipe that leaked water and steam Monday was part of a project to replace old, corroded pipelines.

"The pipes that had been in the HPER Mall were large and were old and were deteriorating officials at such a rapid pace that we had to take extreme measures, which was to replace all of them," Perez said.
