Don’t be alarmed if you start seeing smoke rising from sewer grates in Grand Falls-Windsor.
The town is conducting smoke testing on its sanitary sewer network for the next month or so.
The smoke testing helps to identify leaks and cross connections in the town’s sewer infrastructure. Harmless and non-damaging smoke, which is injected into the system, picks up on leaks and other issues by monitoring smoke seeping through the ground, manholes or weeping tile.
Residents will not see smoke in their homes but there is a chance they may see odor-free smoke around.
