access road is clear and down power line across our road has been
repaired
besides power we have maintained all other utilities on site at 100%
The utility company says another day or 2 before power is restored
The generator has been running reasonably well with staff TLC and we
have fuel. However the Generator is not 100% yet. Parts are days to 1
week out.
Critical computing machines are still off unless needed for specific
tasks
We do not plan to open for observing until power is restored or
generator parts come in and we are confident in the generator and
that a disruption of power for 30 minutes or more will not jeopardize
the telescopes or instruments. In dome testing can be made available
and is encouraged to make use of this time.
