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 May 7-13 on City Campus and May 14-20 on East Campus depending upon an average weekly high temperature of 60 degrees or more.
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.
For questions or concerns regarding processes requiring steam, contact the Facilities Management and Planning utility project manager Charlie Griesen at 472-8612 or cgriesen2@unl.edu by April 12.
