The Tower 2, a 14-story residential buildings was damaged in Laguna Woods after storms struck the region in January. The general manager for the building was quoted saying “[t]he storms created 20,000 gallons of oily water at the bottom of the elevators, and it all shorted”.
Repair technicians have been working up to15-hour days to get the elevators up and running; however, the repairs have only resulted in the elevators being partially operational for emergency use only. It is unknown how long how long it will take to bring the elevators into full working order.
Staff members have been checking in on residents of the tower, delivering meals, and assisting in other ways to accommodate residents while the elevators are down. Once repairs are complete Tower officials intend to look into speeding up and modernizing the building.
