GREENSBORO, N.C. — Starting, July 31 through Friday, August 11, a series of neighborhoods in Greensboro will undergo sewer line smoke testing, officials say.
The neighbors affected are:
o Glenwood Neighborhood
o Downtown Area
o Southside Neighborhood
o Warnersville Neighborhood
o Dust Bowl Neighborhood
o Hampton Homes Neighborhood
o Oakgrove Neighborhood
Officials say during testing, a non-toxic smoke will be introduced and will unveil any open breaks in the City’s sewer collection system.
The smoke is non-toxic, non-staining, white to gray in color, has a slight odor, and creates no fire hazard.
Officials say residents in the area should pour a gallon of water into every sink, tub, and floor drain that is not used on a daily basis before July 31. This will fill the p-traps and ultimately prevent smoke from entering their building.
Traffic signs and cones will be in place at testing locations and drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid the areas.
