City of Newark Sanitary Sewer System Smoke-Testing

The City of Newark Public Works Department has been conducting a study of our sewer system. Crews will be locating breaks and defects in the City of Newark's sewer system using "smoke-testing". The smoke that is seen coming from vent pipes on houses or holes and cracks in the ground is harmless. It is non-toxic, creates no fire hazard, and leaves no visible residue.
The information gained from smoke testing will be used to improve your sewer service.
