Veolia
Energy, owner of the district heating system in Cambridge and Boston, and the
owner of the Kendall Station power plant, will be conducting a maintenance
procedure known as steam blowing Friday, June 24 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. The
Kendall Plant provides "Green Steam" to Kendall Square and reduces
carbon emissions equivalent to over 52,000 cars per year.
This operation involves flowing steam through a pipe
for the purpose of pipe cleaning. The cleaning will result in large clouds of
steam, which may cause curiosity and/or emergency phone calls from the general
public. Veolia Energy and the City of Cambridge have posted information to
notify Kendall Square and Boston businesses and residents of this procedure. A
Cambridge Fire Detail will be present for the duration of the events.
If you have any questions/concerns regarding this
work, please contact Veolia Energy at 617-482-8232.
