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 procedure known as steam blowing Saturday, May 30, between 8:00am-6:00pm. 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 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.

If you have any questions/concerns regarding this work, please contact Veolia Energy at 617-482-8232.
