The Somerville News has a detailed report about this:

Somerville officials first responded to the station at 2 p.m. Monday when they received a report that a police communications relay was no longer operating. Entering the underground equipment room that housed the police switch, fire department communications lines and other electrical equipment, City officials found corroded equipment lockers with water running down the walls and pooling on the floor.

Thanks for posting it. When we heard about it this morning, I was hoping it had to do with the water that pours out of the light fixtures at either end of the platform. Water pouring from light fixtures just can't be safe!

It was frustrating because the puddles just kept getting bigger. The water had stopped for a while so I figured the problem was fixed but then it returned about a week later. Hopefully this time, it'll be fixed for good. But I'm not going to hold my breath. I really want to have faith in the T, but they make it so darn difficult!
