News Release -- Smoke Testing <br />June 28, 2006 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />If smoke testing reveals a defect in the public portion of the wastewater collection system, the <br />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 /> <br />If smoke testing identifies a stormwater connection prohibited in the City code, such as a roof <br />drain connected to the sanitary sewer, the property owner is notified and is required to correct <br />the problem. <br /> <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 /> <br />Residents with questions about the City's smoke testing program can call the Public Works <br />Maintenance Division at 682-4800. <br /># # # <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works Maintenance City of Eugene 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard, Eugene, OR 97402 <br />Phone 541-682- Fax 541-682- www.eugene-or.gov/pw <br />
