Naugatuck Smoke Testing Public Notice
Veolia Water crews will be smoke testing sanitary sewers as part of the Borough’s ongoing sanitary sewer inspection program. The following sewers in the streets below will be smoke tested beginning Tuesday, Sept 6, 2011 through Friday Sept. 16, 2011 from 7:00 AM to 3 PM: Hoadley, Street, Aetna Street, Galpin Street, Beebee Street, Highland Street and Homestead Street.
The smoke testing helps to identify areas where “clear” water is entering the system and could cause sanitary sewer backups. 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 your home. This testing cannot be conducted during rainy periods or windy conditions. If you have any questions, or desire more information, if people in your building have asthma, emphysema or some other respiratory conditions and are planning to stay in the building during the testing, if you have dogs, birds, or pets that will be confined alone in the building, any person who is alone and is an invalid and may be sleeping, elderly persons who may be alone and might be alarmed or confused if they see smoke, notify the waste water facility at 203-723-1433 from 7 AM to 4 PM so that we can discuss your case in further detail or answer any questions. Additional information can be found on the Borough website at http://www.naugatuck-ct.gov/.
