Smoke Testing Scheduled for Tomorrow

The Consolidated Waterworks and Sewerage District #1 (CWSD#1) will conduct smoke testing on the sewer lines on Platt Drive near Taylor Bend Street in the Eastwood area of Haughton tomorrow.  

Officials say that smoke testing is one of several methods they use to identify cracks and unauthorized connections to the sanitary sewer system. In addition, it is an effective and economical way to identify problem areas in a sewer line quickly.

Smoke testing is a harmless test method that uses an odorless, non-toxic mist that does not stain. This mist has been endorsed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for over 20 years for smoke testing.

If a leak in a line is discovered on a homeowner's property, they will be notified either in person or by mail.
