Full Notification

The City of Ketchikan will be smoke testing the sanitary sewer lines within Tongass Ave near the airport. Work will occur on tomorrow February 8, 2023. Testing will be between the hours of 9am -3pm.

Please Note: The “smoke” is not true smoke, but rather a white to gray mist containing a large percentage of atmospheric moisture that is highly visible at low concentrations. The smoke is clean and non-toxic  to humans, pets, food, plants, and material items.

The smoke should not enter any premises unless a leak is present. The presence of smoke in your house should be reported immediately to the personnel conducting the tests, or by calling 907-225-8750.

To minimize the chance of smoke entering your home or business, please pour water into all drains including floor drains prior to the date of the test.

Additional Information is attached.
For questions please contact the City of Ketchikan Wastewater Department at 907-617-2828 or 907-225-8750.
