A series of boiler combustion tests are scheduled for Wednesday, November 22, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Thursday, November 23, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. These tests might cause a large steam plume and high levels of noise. It is important to note that the tests will not pose any health or safety risk.
During these tests, we will temporarily increase steam demand beyond normal levels. This helps us simulate the impact of adding more buildings to our network, such as the New Vic, and ensure that our equipment can safely handle this increased demand.聽
