[Dsg-rich] RICH compressors successfully powered

[Walt Akers]

Tyler:

There are a variety of drains nearby.  The most likely candidate would
be in one of the utility closets on the main hallway.  Notably, this would
probably require the installation of a small pump to deliver the water
from the compressor to the utility room.

I'm CCing Carroll Jones on this, because it would certainly involve
some design support from Facilities to make this happen (unless there
is already a floor drain nearby).
