    Next Wednesday, Oct. 6th, the first part of a major intervention on the
    underground electric plant will take place. The PILLER power line will be
    moved from the old Power Control Center to a temporary new one. In this
    way part of the old equipments can be dismounted and then remounted on the
    switchboard of the new Power Control Center. When the latter is ready, the
    PILLER line will be moved to its final place.

    This intervention will entail the shut down of the whole detector. The
    planned duration is four hours starting in the morning at about 9am local
    time. So an approximately equal down time is foreseen. I strongly
    requested to the electric plant technicians to stick to the planned
    schedule.

    According to Eng. Fulgenzi it is not possible to switch to the final
    power line in only one operation, since the new Power Control will be
    operative only when all the users are connected to the new switchboard
    (in facts also the other underground experiments in turn will experience
    a power lack). Doing it in only one intervention would require many days
    of down time. I will post an advice when the second part of this
    intervention takes place.

    Best regards
