ECUA crews will begin smoke testing of the sewer collection system lines on Thursday, February 12. The testing area will be located north of Old Chemstrand Road and will include the Lake Drive/Glenview subdivision. Affected streets include Long Branch Drive, Glen Mills Court, and Liberty Loop. These tests will determine if there are areas where stormwater or groundwater are entering the sewer system. 

Testing will be conducted from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. that day. The testing areas are outlined on this MAP (https://assets.ecua.fl.gov/Glenview-Subdivison.png) 

White smoke will be circulated into the sewer lines and manholes to locate broken pipes and other defects and 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.

Smoke testing is expected to be completed in one day, weather permitting. For more information or updates on the work's progress, residents may visit the ECUA Advisories page at www.ecua.fl.gov/advisories or call ECUA Customer Service at 850-476-0480.
