Dear BNC Users –

We have lost campus wide steam pressure at 11:30AM where 2 of 4 wade power plant steam boilers shut down.  Several building alarms came in that we are responding to.  Our high pressure steam normally operates at 125 psi and is currently at 25 psi.  This may cause a loss of humidity control for cleanroom and general lab spaces.  PUPF have started 2 backup boilers to recover.  At this time it appears that the building is stable with no shutdown of building systems is needed.  I will update once campus steam is back to normal.

Thank you,

Mark Voorhis
