Electricity, water, steam and other utilities occasionally need to be turned off for maintenance or installation of new equipment. Facilities Management plans utility shutdowns to minimize impact on campus departments. We notify designated department contacts at least 4 business days prior to a planned utility shutdown.

How will I get notified of a utility shutdown?

Facilities Management Customer Support maintains a Utility Shutdown Notification List. In the event of a planned utility shutdown, Facilities Management will notify department contacts by fax and e-mail. The department contacts are asked to reply to verify they received the notification. Department contacts are responsible for informing other department members in the affected building of the planned shutdown. If a department member is concerned about the impact of a particular shutdown, the department contact should inform Facilities Management Customer Support. An Facilities Management supervisor or project manager will get in touch with the department to address the concern.

How do I get on the Utility Shutdown Notification List?

Each department may have up to two contacts for every building they occupy. Check with your department manager to find out who your contacts are. If a department wishes to add or change a contact for a building, they should notify who will confirm the change with the department.
