4/19/24 – Unknown – Paleoecology Research Building (112) Water Use Advisory

Posted on by jude

Begin:  Friday, April 19, 2024 – Effective Immediately

End:      Unknown

Building(s) or Area(s) Affected:  Paleoecology Research Building (112)

During the course of EH&S’s drinking water monitoring program, the water in the Paleoecology Building was tested. The preliminary results were reviewed this morning and the water in the building has elevated levels of lead. Because of these test results, the following actions will be taken:

  1. A temporary drinking water source will be arranged and installed by CPFM.
  2. The building will be posted with signage indicating the issue.
  3. EHS and CPFM will review fixtures within the building and determine which are intended for use for drinking and cooking. Appropriate fixtures will be investigated further. Fixtures not intended for drinking or cooking use, such as lab fixtures, will be tagged appropriately.
  4. EHS and CPFM will begin investigative work on the cause of elevated lead. The first step will be to flush test the fixtures. Based on the results, repairs will be made and the fixtures re-tested. Fixtures will not be returned to service until they have successfully passed confirmation testing.

 

Investigation and remediation of this issue will be a combined effort between CPFM & EHS. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me, Adam Jones at asjones@uoregon.edu.

4/17/24 – 4/18/24 Campus Wide Garbage Service Advisory

Posted on by jepeters

UPDATE 4/18/24:

Hello Campus Partners,

 Update on campus garbage service: late yesterday Facilities Services staff was able to pick up one of the repaired garbage trucks and put it into service this morning. Regular campus garbage service has resumed.

We, again, thank you for the understanding: please contact Kevin Farthing (541-359-6633, kfarthin@uoregon.edu) if you have any questions.

 Kevin Farthing
Associate Director
CFPM Facilities Services

 

Hello Campus Partners,

I wanted to reach out to you concerning a minor interruption in campus garbage pickup. Currently, both Facilities Services-owned trucks are experiencing mechanical issues that prevent them from picking up garbage. Both are currently being repaired by contractors in the area; however, we don’t have completion time for either. In order to mitigate the problem, we are picking up garbage in building dumpsters using our recycling vans. For today, we are concentrating on the residence halls and the EMU. We are also talking today with a third-party garbage hauler to temporarily service the campus while our trucks are being repaired. Be assured we are working to resume regular garbage service as soon as possible, and that we will let you know if there are any further developments, including the resumption of regular service.

We thank you for the understanding: please contact Kevin Farthing (541-359-6633, kfarthin@uoregon.edu) if you have any questions.

Building Steam Management Advisory for Spring 2024

Posted on by jepeters

Reminder About Seasonal Building Steam Management

As the warmer weather arrives, CPFM Facilities Services will again implement its process for systematically deactivating the heat within steam-controlled buildings.

These locations include the following:

  • Agate Hall (gym/auditorium)
  • Cascade Annex
  • Collier House
  • Columbia Hall (Room 154)
  • Condon Hall
  • CPFM Buildings
  • Esslinger Hall
  • Fine Arts Studios
  • Friendly Hall
  • Frohnmayer Music (radiators only)
  • Gerlinger Hall
  • Hendricks Hall
  • Huestis Hall (heat exchanger HEX-3 only for fin tube radiators)
  • Lawrence Hall (primary studios)
  • Lokey Education (East and West)
  • Mac Court (radiators only)
  • Millrace Woodshop
  • Onyx Bridge (072/090, 169/170)
  • Susan Campbell Hall
  • University Hall
  • Villard Hall
  • Volcanology Hall

Because turning off the system is an involved and lengthy process, Facilities Services has established the following methodology regulating when technicians will deactivate the steam for the warmer season:

As Spring temperatures become warmer, we systematically turn off the steam when outside nighttime air temperature is above 50 degrees for five (5) consecutive nights AND daytime air temperature is above 70 degrees for five (5) consecutive days.

Since Spring temperatures may vary widely from day to day, building occupants can expect inside temperatures to fluctuate until outside conditions meet the above criteria, and technicians can deactivate the steam.  A notice will be sent when the process begins.
