Campus 2008 Annual Steam Outage

Planning for the Annual Steam Outages has begun.  The centralized steam distribution system must be shut down to conduct required maintenance of equipment, including replacing and upgrading many key components of the University's Utility System.  The outages will occur on the following dates depending upon an average weekly high temperature of 60 degrees or more:

City Campus only from May 11th through May 17th
East Campus only from May 18th through May 24th

These dates were selected due to the decreased student activity on campus.  During the Steam Outages, there will be no heating and no process steam available in those building systems served by campus steam.  In order to help us plan for these outages, please contact the Utility Services Construction Coordinator, Charlie Griesen, at 472-8612 or cgriesen2@unl.edu by April 19th with any questions or concerns regarding processes requiring steam.
