City of Oxford to Conduct a Smoke Test on Sewer System

/by

-Information courtesy the City of Oxford website

McGill has been contracted by the City of Oxford to conduct a smoke test survey beginning Wednesday, August 29 through Friday, September 14, 2018, and will be ongoing until completed. The smoke test survey may be delayed by the occurrence of a heavy rain event.

A smoke test survey will assist inspection crews in locating breaks and defects in the sewer system. Non – toxic smoke will be introduced into a manhole and forced down the sewer lines with the use of an air blower. Smoke will escape from the system at any point where there is an open break in the line.

For example, smoke may rise from the ground in yards, stream banks, storm drains, etc. Smoke will also escape from all manhole lids, vents on building roofs, cleanouts, and from underneath buildings if poor plumbing exists. Be advised that smoke can enter your home, office, or place of business. The smoke is harmless to humans, pets, food and material items.

The smoke is:

NON-TOXIC, NON-STAINING, HAS A SLIGHT ODOR, WHITE TO GRAY IN COLOR, AND CREATES NO FIRE HAZARD.

You do not have to be on site during testing!

It is advisable to pour a gallon of water into every sink, tub, and floor drain that is NOT subject to everyday use. This will fill the p-traps and prevent smoke from entering the building.

If you have questions, please feel free to call:
