Smoke Testing in Kutzky Park Area

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:26:11 -0500

Start: 2008-08-19 16:00

End: 2008-08-21 16:00

Body:

City Public Works crews with the assistance of WHKS & Co. will be conducting smoke testing in this area within the next several days.

The testing is part of the City’s Sewer Rehabilitation and Capacity Assurance Program. The program has a goal of reducing groundwater and rainwater entry into the sanitary sewer collection system and achieving a reduction in basement sewage backups.

This process involves forcing non-toxic white smoke into the sewer pipes with a mechanical blower, and observing the areas from which the smoke appears. While the blower is running, crews will travel quickly throughout the area taking photographs of problem areas. The white smoke may appear from vent pipes on the roofs of buildings, and from defects in the sewer lines.
