The HTHW System is not back on yet. Part of this outage was to replace aged pipe and fittings in the Central Plant. There was a series of pipe cuts and welds that needed to occur. Late last week one of the welds failed a test. Every weld on this system is tested to confirm the integrity of the weld. This is critical since this system carries water at 330 degrees F at 250 psi. A failure of a weld when the system is on would be catastrophic and possibly fatal. The team worked through the weekend to complete the new weld. We are awaiting the results of testing, which is happening today. As soon as we have a weld test that passed, we will begin filling and turning on the heat. At this point, the earliest this will be is tomorrow morning. We will keep you informed on the status of the system. Thank you for your patience.
