Feeder 9 serves Neckers Building. Feeder 6 serves the Student Center. Feeder 8 failed most recently five years ago and several segments were replaced at that time. Feeder 9 is known to have damage and defective feeder duct.
Imminent failure is predicted.
Feeder 3 is a short section of old lead, paper, and oil based cable which needs to be replaced. Remaining sections of Feeder 6 are old and deteriorating. Sections have been rerouted to avoid outages. The remaining Feeder 6 cable and collapsed duct need to be abandoned and replaced to provide dependable feeder service.
