News Release <br /> June 74, 2007 <br /> Page 2 <br /> If smoke testing reveals a defect in the public portion of the wastewater collection system, <br /> the defect is corrected as soon as possible. If extensive defects are found, capital rehabilitation <br /> projects are planned, funded and completed to correct the problem. <br /> If smoke testing identifies a stormwater connection prohibited in the City code, such as a <br /> roof drain connected to the sanitary sewer, the property owner is notified and is required to correct <br /> the problem. <br /> If the testing indicates a defect in the private portion of the sewer (usually in the line that <br /> connects the building to the public sewer), the owner is notified of potential problems with the <br /> sewer, and repair or replacement of the defective line is recommended. <br /> Residents with questions about the City's smoke testing program can call the Public <br /> <br /> Works Maintenance Division at 682-4800. <br /> Eugene Public Works • www.eugene-or.gov/pw <br /> 858 Pearl Street, Eugene, Oregon 97501 • 541-682-5523 • fax 541-682-6826 • e-mail pwadmin~ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br />
