District 4 Smoke Testing near Gatlin Ave and Conway Rd

For the next few weeks, Orange County Utilities inspection crews will conduct a physical survey of the wastewater collection system in East Orange County. Information gained from this survey will be used to repair and improve the wastewater collection system.

One important task of the survey will be “smoke” testing of sewer lines to locate breaks and defects in the system. During the “smoke” test, white artificial “smoke” or vapor will exit through vent pipes on the roofs of homes and buildings and through sewer line breaks. The “smoke” should not enter your home or building unless your plumbing is defective or drain traps are dry.

Field crews will perform inspections which involve opening and entering manholes in the streets and in backyard easements. At no time will field crews have to enter your residence or business.

Testing of PS 3087, located on the Southwest Quadrant of the intersection of Gatlin Av.  and Conway  Rd will begin Monday, April 30th, 2012. Estimated completion date: Friday May 4th, 2012.
