Smoke Testing News Release

The City of Willoughby will perform smoke testing of the sanitary sewers in several neighborhoods with CT Consultants, Inc. beginning the second week of August and continuing through mid- to late September 2010. During the testing, smoke will be visible exiting the sanitary vent stacks on house rooftops. This is normal, and should be no cause for concern. The smoke is white in color, non-toxic and non-staining. Smoke should not enter your homes unless there is defective plumbing or “dry traps.” To prevent smoke from entering homes through dry traps (i.e., basement floor drains, unused laundry tubs, sinks, etc.) pour/run water into all the drains in the home. Homeowner presence is not required for the test. However, please be aware that field technicians must enter rear yard areas and make observations around the home and in the neighborhood. They will be identifiable by their green, high-visibility work shirts.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Tomás Parry at CT Consultants, Inc. 440-951-9000.
