Residents of Lapel can expect to see smoke rising from the town’s sewer system in the coming days as a routine maintenance test gets underway. The Town of Lapel has announced that it will be conducting a smoke test of its sanitary sewer system, a procedure designed to identify any potential defects or issues within the network.
The test, which is a standard practice in maintaining sewer infrastructure, involves pumping smoke into the system to detect any leaks, cracks, or other weaknesses. This will help town officials to pinpoint areas that may require repair or replacement, ensuring the overall integrity and efficiency of the sewer system.
While the sight of smoke emerging from manhole covers and other sewer outlets may cause concern, residents are advised that the smoke is harmless and poses no risk to public health. The test is an important part of the town’s ongoing efforts to maintain and improve its infrastructure, and will ultimately help to prevent potential problems such as sewer backups and overflows.
We will provide updates on the smoke test as more information becomes available. In the meantime, residents with questions or concerns are encouraged to reach out to the Town of Lapel for more information.
