NOTICE: SMOKE TESTING SEWERS in Roseboro Our work crews will be conducting smoke tests of sanitary sewers in your area on: Monday, March 17, 2014 Monday, March 24, 2014 Thursday, March 27, 2014 The tests will assist us in locating breaks and defects in the sewer system. During the test, you might see smoke coming from vent stacks on buildings and from holes in the ground. Don’t be alarmed. The smoke has no odor, is nontoxic, non-staining, does not create a fire hazard, and will dissipate in a few minutes. Before we conduct the smoke test, please pour water into your floor drains and into any unused sinks to fill the drain. If this is not done, smoke could enter your building through the drain. If smoke should enter your building during the test, it probably means that there are defects in the plumbing that could allow dangerous sewer gas to enter. Open doors and windows to ventilate any smoke that enters the building. Please notify us before we conduct the test if you have any of the following situations: – Dogs, birds, or other pets that will be confined alone in the building during the test – A person who will be alone and is an invalid or will be sleeping during the test – Any individuals with respiratory problems who will be in the building – Elderly persons who will be alone and might be alarmed or confused if they see smoke If you have any of these situations or have questions regarding the smoke test, please call the Utilities Department. This advisory is issued on Friday, March 7, 2014 by: David Phillips, Public Works Director Town of Roseboro Public Works and Utilities 101 W Pleasant Street Roseboro, NC 28382 (910) 590-7810
