DELCORA will be conducting a smoke test of it's Sanitary Sewer System Work Crews will be in your area beginning:
November 18-22 & 25 from 8AM- 3PM
A "Smoke Test" will assist our inspection crew in locating breaks and defects in our Sewer Systems.
The smoke you see coming from manholes, vent stacks on or at houses, and holes in the ground is Non-Toxic, Non-Staining, and Odorless. It is white to grey in color and creates NO FIRE HAZZARD.
It is advisable that prior to our inspection, property owners pour at least one (1) gallon of water into existing floor drains. If smoke enters your building it is reason to believe that dangerous sewer gases may be entering as well. You should evacuate your home and immediately notify our work crew. If you are not home and discover smoke upon your return, please notify us at 445-221-4399.
IMPORTANT: If there is any individual in your residence or business who has respiratory problems and is immobile, please notify us at 445-221-4399 prior to testing.
