The Central Power Station is the distribution point for campus utilities, including electricity, heat, cooling, 60-pound steam, compressed air, and natural gas. It is a co-generation facility, producing up to 30% of the campus electrical demand as a by-product of steam production. The CPS staff are responsible for the maintenance of 3 miles of tunnels, through which the utilities are distributed. They also oversee the Millrace waterway, and its intake and output operation from the Willamette River.
