Annual steam shutdown set for Aug. 27-Sept. 8

The Annual Steam Shutdown is scheduled from Sunday, Aug. 27 at 1 a.m. through Friday, Sept. 8 at 8 p.m.  There will be no heat, hot water or steam available to allow for preventative maintenance to the campus steam system.  Carver Gym, Wade King Recreation Center, Fairhaven College and various areas within University Residences will have domestic hot water provided by electric water tanks.  This means most Academic buildings will be without hot water in bathrooms and kitchens during the shutdown.  Please address any questions or concerns to Steve.Morrow@wwu.edu or at extension x3215.  As always FM truly appreciates your understanding and flexibility.  By allowing FM the ability to keep our infrastructure properly maintained we can keep the educational mission on track by preventing potentially disruptive maintenance issues.  Thank you.
