Update from Sammamish Plateau Water:
In August, field crews will be conducting sanitary sewer smoke testing in selected areas of the District located within the North Sewer Service Area. Pushing non-toxic "smoke" into the sewer pipes is helpful in detecting connection points where outside surface water can enter into the sewer pipes. During the testing, you may see this "smoke" coming from vent stacks on buildings or from holes in the ground. Don’t be alarmed. This simulated “smoke” is safe and non-toxic, has no odor, is non-staining, does not create a fire hazard, and should dissipate quickly. To learn more, please click on the image!
