ECUA Conducting Sewer Smoke Testing In Cantonment Area

March 28, 2019

The Emerald Coast Utilities Authority is conducting smoke testing for sewer system leak detection in the Cantonment area into next week.

On Thursday, crews were working in the Booker Street area.

The smoke testing areas include Booker Street to Muscogee Road east to International Paper, and Muscogee Road to Well Line Road to Highway 29 (see maps).

White smoke will be circulated into the sewer lines and manholes to locate broken pipes and other plumbing defects, and it will exit from vent pipes on home roofs. The smoke is non-toxic, leaves no residue, and creates no fire hazard. The smoke will not enter the house unless there is defective plumbing present or the drain traps are dry. If potential problems are found on private property, residents will be notified of repairs that may need to be made.

    Pew Wee – That’s probably because those homes on the southwest corner of Kingsfield and Chemstrand Road are not connected to the sewer lines that run right past our neighborhood. We still have septic fields that are saturated after every heavy rain. Guess we aren’t rich enough like the surrounding McMansions.

    they need to do this on Kingsfield near Chemstrand Road. There’s a place near there that often smells of sewage.
