The City of Leduc is conducting sewer line smoke testing in South Park and Linsford this week. Residents may see smoke coming out of the ground, manholes, storms drains and other locations.
The City completes smoke testing every couple of years to help identify cracks and faulty connections in the sanitary sewer system for future maintenance work.
The smoke is a non-toxic, non-staining, and odourless mist. For most people and pets, the smoke should not pose a hazard. Individuals with respiratory conditions should avoid direct exposure to the smoke. If smoke gets inside your home or a building you are in, open windows to immediately ventilate the area.
Residents do not need to report seeing smoke unless they are concerned it is being caused by a fire (call 911). If you have any concerns about smoke testing, contact the City at 780-980-7133.
