Smoke Testing Notice


NOTICE 
SMOKE TESTING SEWER LINES 
LAKE STEVENS SEWER DISTRICT IS CONDUCTING A SMOKE TEST OF ITS SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM.  
Work crews will be smoke testing starting Monday, May 15, 2023, through Wednesday, May 31, 2023. This testing will assist our inspection crew in locating breaks and defects in our sewer system. The smoke you may see coming from vent stacks on houses or holes in the ground is NON-TOXIC, NON-STAINING, ODORLESS, WHITE TO GRAY IN COLOR, AND CREATES NO FIRE HAZARD.  
The smoke should not enter your home unless you have defective plumbing or dried up drain traps.  
It is advisable for the homeowner to pour a gallon of water into each drain prior to our testing. If smoke enters your home, there is a good reason to assume that dangerous sewer gases may also be entering your home or business. You should evacuate immediately and notify our work crews. If you are not home and discover smoke when you return, please call us at, (425) 334-8588. 
Please see the service map below to locate which areas will be smoke tested. If you have any questions, please call (425) 334-8588.
