UMaine Plans Whistle Test Saturday

Contact: Joe Carr at (207) 581-3571

ORONO — University of Maine staff members plan to test the university’s long-dormant steam plant whistle on Saturday, April 28 at 12 noon. It has not been used for at least a decade, and Saturday’s test will determine if it is still functional.

The whistle, if it works, is likely to be audible throughout the entire UMaine campus and in many parts of Orono and Old Town.
