Due to weather-related concerns, the annual steam outage for City Campus will be delayed until May 17-23. Work on the East Campus steam distribution system remains on schedule for May 31 to June 6.
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.
Outage dates are scheduled based on decreased student activity on campus. During the outages, there will be no heating and no process steam available in building systems served by campus steam. Lower-than-expected daytime temperatures are the reason for the City Campus delay.
For questions or concerns regarding processes requiring steam, contact Charlie Griesen, utility project manager for Facilities Management and Planning, at 402-472-8612 or cgriesen2@unl.edu.
