⚑ ⚑ ⚑ UPDATE!!! ⚑ ⚑ ⚑

UPLB Upper Campus will only experience power interruption on Sunday, September 27, 2026 from 8:00AM to 6:00PM.

Upper campus includes: UPCO, CFNR Complex, Copeland Heights, CPAf, ACB, UHS, Alumni Center, Graduate School

⚑ POWER INTERRUPTION NOTICE ⚑
πŸ“… 26 and 27 September 2026
πŸ•– 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

πŸ”Œ STRENGTHENING UPLB’S POWER INFRASTRUCTURE
As part of UPLB’s continuing commitment to a safe, reliable, and future-ready electrical system, two major electrical improvement projects will be undertaken on 26 and 27 September 2026 (Saturday and Sunday).
At the same time, the UPMO Electrical Services Section (ESS-UPMO) will conduct necessary repair and maintenance works on problematic electrical wirings and accessories.

πŸ—οΈ PROJECT 1: UPGRADE OF ELECTRICAL LINES – LOWER CAMPUS
UPLB–IF–016–04–25 | JFA Construction and General Services Inc.

Major works include:
πŸ”§ Removal of aging underground cables from Silangan Substation to the MSI area
⚑ Installation, termination, and tapping of new electrical power cables at the MSI and Old Math Building.
These upgrades will help modernize the Lower Campus electrical network, improve reliability, and reduce the risk of future power disruptions.

πŸ₯ PROJECT 2: UHS OPERATING ROOM COMPLEX
UPLB–IF–030–11–25 REBID | J.S. General Contractor

A new overhead primary electrical line will be installed and tapped at the UHS to support the ongoing expansion of the Operating Room Complex and its electrical requirements.

πŸ› οΈ ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE WORKS
ESS-UPMO will also address identified electrical problems to improve system safety, reliability, and performance and help prevent recurring interruptions.

⚠️ POWER INTERRUPTION
Both the UPLB Lower and Upper Campuses will be affected. The temporary interruption is necessary to ensure the safe ex*****on of electrical works and to protect personnel and equipment.
ESS-UPMO and CSIS-UPMO will closely supervise the activities to ensure that all works are completed safely and in accordance with standard procedures. Power will be restored as soon as the works are completed and the system is safe for energization.

🚨 SAFETY REMINDER:
Please treat all electrical lines as energized at all times and observe all necessary safety precautions.

πŸ’™ We sincerely thank the UPLB community for your patience, understanding, and cooperation. These projects are important investments toward a stronger, safer, and more reliable electrical system that will better serve UPLB for years to come. ⚑🏫

🚨 WATER SERVICE INTERRUPTION NOTICE 🚰
πŸ“… Date: Saturday, July 25, 2026
πŸ•— Time: 8:00 AM onwards
⚠️ URGENT REPAIR WORKS TO PREVENT MAJOR WATER LINE FAILURE
A water leak was previously detected behind the Institute of Chemistry Annex Building. Initial assessments by PWSS-UPMO indicated that the damage could be more serious than what was visible on the surface. Because the repair required deep excavation and replacement of critical pipeline components, a campus-wide water service interruption became unavoidable.

Following the excavation conducted on July 15, 2026, our technical team confirmed that the leak was caused by severely damaged and unserviceable 8-inch ductile iron mechanical elbows, resulting in significant water loss. The replacement materials were delivered today, allowing the repair works to proceed immediately.

πŸ”§ To prevent further deterioration of the water distribution line and avoid a prolonged or more extensive disruption to the campus water supply, PWSS-UPMO will conduct urgent pipeline repair works on Saturday, July 25, 2026, starting at 8:00 AM.

This maintenance activity is critical to protecting the integrity of the campus water distribution system and ensuring a safe, reliable, and continuous water supply for the UPLB community.

πŸ’§ During the repair works, the main water valve will be temporarily shut off, resulting in a water service interruption in the following areas:
πŸ“ Entire UPLB Lower Campus
β€’ Academic and Administrative Buildings
β€’ OSH Dormitories
β€’ UHO Residential Units
πŸ“ Portions of the Upper Campus

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this temporary service interruption may cause. Your patience, understanding, and cooperation are greatly appreciated as we carry out these essential repairs to safeguard and improve the reliability of the UPLB water supply system.
