Water Services is performing smoke testing of sanitary sewer lines intermittently throughout December. Smoke testing helps identify broken pipes and other defects by having field crews inject smoke into the sewer lines through manholes.

Residents may see smoke exit from vent pipes on the roofs of homes and businesses, manholes, and the ground where broken sewer pipes may exist. The smoke is non-toxic, does not leave a residue and does not create a fire hazard. The smoke will not enter a house unless there is defective plumbing present or drain traps are dry.

Residents and business owners can help prevent smoke from entering their buildings by pouring about one gallon of water into seldom-used drains.

We have a new interactive map! Search your address to see if you're in the testing area.
