Sanitary Sewer Smoke Testing

Sanitary sewer smoke testing is scheduled from August 16th through August 25th. Smoke testing is used to locate defects and leaks in the sewer system in need of repair. Letters have been mailed to those residents and businesses that may be affected by the test.

The smoke used in testing is non-toxic and harmless, creating no residue or fire hazard and dissipating in roughly an hour. For additional details, including a map of the affected area, click here.
