Smoke Testing Sewer Lines
The City of Cando will smoke test its sanitary sewer lines on June 21-23. The North Dakota Association of Rural Water Systems will assist with this test which checks for Ground Water Infiltration into the sewer lines. This situation can overload the treatment plant during heavy rains.
The smoke is a special non-toxic material which will not cause health problems nor damage property.
If your home or business is problem free, you will not experience any smoke. You may receive smoke if you have faulty or blocked ventilation pipe or a dry floor drain.
Adding water to drains and toilets will help prevent smoke from entering your home or business.
Home owners can expect to see smoke coming from roof vents. Smoke found inside homes or businesses means there is a potential problem. If any smoke enters a building, persons are asked to inform the testing crew. If smoke enters your home or business, check to see where it is coming from.
Opening doors and windows will allow the smoke to ventilate.
DO NOT CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
The testing is done in geographic sections. It is not possible to let property owners know the exact time for their area. We appreciate your cooperation during this test.
If you have questions in regard to this procedure please contact the Public Works Supervisor Scott Gable at 701-303-0033
