Power problem update:
The MIT cogeneration facility was damaged during the power problems that
occurred last night. As a result, the campus is operating totally on
power supplied by Cambridge Electric.
At this time, Cambridge Electric is stable, however, due to the events
that occurred yesterday and early this morning, it is uncertain how
reliable their distribution system will be until repairs are
accomplished.
MIT is working as fast as possible to get repair parts for the
cogenerator and get it on line. It is expected that the parts will
arrive this afternoon for immediate installation.
Physical Plant is also working to restore heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems that tripped off overnight. If you notice a system
that isn't operating, please call your Repair & Maintenance Zone to
report the problem.
As additional information becomes available, the Physical Plant
Emergency Hotline, 3-1300, will be updated.
