Smoke Testing

Map showing area for smoke testing starting October 4, with highlighted testing zone and illustration.

Smoke testing is a quick way to visually locate leaks in the wastewater system. We use safe, non-toxic smoke that leaves no residue. The smoke should not enter your home unless defective plumbing exists or drain traps are dry. Should we be conducting smoke testing near your home or business, you will find a hanging card on your front door with information on what to expect during testing.

Wastewater inspections help us:

  • Preserve valuable infrastructure
  • Plan and prioritize repair
  • Avoid emergencies and unexpected costs

This is one of many proactive steps the District takes to ensure our essential infrastructure is well-maintained and structurally sound. As always, should you have any additional questions, please reach out to us directly at 682-831-4600.
