NOTICE

SMOKE TESTING SEWER LINES

The City of Lancaster is conducting a smoke test of its
sanitary sewer system

Work crews will be in your area smoke testing sewer lines within the coming weeks. Please watch for a notice at your home for the specific date(s).

A “SMOKE TEST” survey will assist our inspection crews in locating breaks and defects in the sewer system. The smoke you see coming from the vent stacks on houses or holes in the ground is: NON-TOXIC, NON-STAINING, HAS NO ODOR, WHITE TO GRAY IN COLOR AND CREATES NO FIRE HAZARD. The smoke should not enter your home unless you have defective plumbing or dried up drain traps.

It is advisable for the homeowner to pour a gallon of water into each floor drain prior to our testing. If smoke enters your home, there is good reason to assume that dangerous sewer gases may also be entering your home or business. You should evacuate immediately and notify our work crews. If you are not home during testing and discover smoke when you return, please call us at 218-762-6472.

IMPORTANT! If there is any individual in your home or business who has respiratory problems and is immobile, please notify us at 218-762-6472.
