35 Charles Generator Replacement: Planned Power Outages
Please be advised that 35 Charles will experience two planned power outages to facilitate work related to the generator replacement project. This first shutdown is scheduled for Tuesday February 18th, 2025, from approximately 4:30am – 5:00am. The second outage has not been scheduled yet, further details will be provided once available.
Emergency power will be used for elevators and some emergency lighting once the main power source is shut down for the building. Domestic water supply equipment and any HVAC systems (kitchen and bathroom exhaust) will be shut down.
This outage will also affect the building’s FOB system and garage doors. To accommodate residents, the garage doors will be opened and powered off prior to the shutdown to allow entry and exit. Security will keep these areas secure, while also managing lobby access, and providing a fire watch.
The UFH Operations team will be on site and closely monitoring the shutdown. This scheduled work is subject to change depending on factors that arise during the scope of work, for which we will do our best to communicate updates via the UFH website.
To help accommodate residents, laundry facilities and public washrooms at 30 Charles will be made available for use. We also recommend filling containers with water before the shutdown.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email our Operations team at operationscharles.ufh@utoronto.ca or reach out directly to Vithusan Ranjan, Assistant Manager, Building Operations & Services, at vithu.ranjan@utoronto.ca.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding
