Press Release: Notification of Smoke Testing in Downtown Area

Notification of Smoke Testing

On December 8th & 10th, 2015 workers for the City of New Castle will blow smoke into the sewer lines in the downtown area to locate breaks and defects in the sewer system.  Homeowners do not need to be home and the inspectors will not need to enter your house.  This Smoke is not toxic, will not stain cloths or furniture, has a slight odor, and will not create a fire.

The tests will be conducted by AECOM a consulting engineering firm hired by the City.  The inspectors will be wearing lime vests and will have photo identification cards.  They will need to walk around the front and back of the property to look for signs of smoke coming from area drains.

TEST HOURS:
7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
December 8th & 10th
