Hot water off tonight for 6 hours

A complete steam outage will deprive the entire campus of heating and hot water for about six hour tonight to allow for repairs to the power plant.

The work will begin tonight at 11:30 and last until 6:30 tomorrow morning, according to College Utilities Engineer Stephen Mischissin.

The complete steam outage is necessary so the College can repair the power plant on the main feedwater system before cold weather sets in.

Mischissin said the outage should cause no problems unless the weather tonight is extremely cold.

But the National Weather Service forecast calls for temperatures to stay above 50 degrees tonight.
