Full Notification

The Ayersville Water and Sewer District will be conducting smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system, this testing will begin on 7/9/2019 and continue until 7/11/2019 during business hours.
Call the Ayersville Water Office with any concerns.

Field crews will distribute a notice door to door approximately 24 to 48 hours in advance. Police and Fire will also be notified daily of work area. This study will involve the opening and entering of manholes in the streets and public utility easements. An important task of the testing will be to locate breaks and defects in the sewer system. The smoke will also reveal sources of where storm and other surface water enter the sewer system.

A special non-toxic smoke will be used in these tests. The smoke is manufactured for this purpose, leaves no residuals or stains, and has no effect on plant or animal life. The smoke has a distinctive, but not unpleasant, odor. Visibility and odor last only a few minutes, where there is adequate ventilation.
