Campus Steam Update

Abbott Power Plant, a cogeneration facility which supplies most of the electricity and high-pressure steam to campus, lost access to an important fuel line (natural gas) early on the morning of Friday, December 13. This caused a boiler at Abbott to discontinue operation for some time. The fuel line has been re-established; however, time will be needed to build steam pressure back to typical levels. There may be cooler temperatures in some campus buildings and some specialized lab equipment that utilizes high-pressure steam may not work.

Updates will be sent directly from the F&S Service Office to my.FS Portal users and campus emergency contacts.
