[CCoE Notice] FW: Campus Update Regarding Power Outage

[Perlowski, Ken]

See below for a power outage scheduled for next weekend.  I am attempting to find out if the outage is momentary (such as a "slight blip"), which shouldn't affect equipment, or if it will be for the full 2 hours.

Subject: Campus Update Regarding Power Outage

For campus-wide distribution and communication:

The Facilities Management electrical team reports that all repairs to the Cougar 1 and 3 feeders have been completed successfully.

The final step will be to test and balance the electrical distribution system to ensure the integrity of the power being provided to the campus.  To minimize the impact to campus, there will be a planned momentary power outage Saturday, October 26, between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m.  This will include a necessary building systems startup process and verification.  Generators will be on standby.  Please plan accordingly - turn off electrical equipment and computers and save any data. Please make necessary provisions for research equipment and experiments.  Building occupants may notice a slight blip.  That is normal and to be expected.  Please notify the Facilities Service Center at 713-743-4948 if you experience any related issues.  Facilities teams will be working to address any issues that may arise.

Not all buildings will be affected during this process.  Please refer to the list below for buildings THAT WILL BE AFFECTED.

If this information changes, campus will be notified.

Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.
