Beginning on October 4, 2022 thru October 18, 2022 Oakvale Public Service District will commence smoke testing of the sanitary and storm sewer system in the following areas: Southview Drive, Red Ash Drive, Green Acres subdivision, East Reynolds Ave, Wood Crest subdivision and Princeton Industrial Park and surrounding areas. Smoke testing is a cost effective method to locate leaky sewers, lost manholes and faulty sewer connections.
Testing hours will be from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. A notice will be left on residents door at least one day before testing begins. Residents can expect to see some smoke coming out of the sewer roof vents during the test, If a residence has a faulty sewer connection, smoke might enter the house through the faulty connection, if this occurs DO NOT BE ALARMED. The smoke is non-toxic , non-staining and free of oil and colored particles and creates no fire hazards.
During the day prior to the date of the scheduled testing , pour water down ALL drains in your home or building to ensure your U-bend traps are full.
Questions or concerns should be addressed to Oakvale Road Public Service District during normal working hours Monday – Friday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.
