Smoke testing near Fort Crockett May 21-22
City crews will be performing a smoke test on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 and Wednesday, May 22, 2024. The smoke test will be affecting Fort Crockett from 45th Street to Sias Street and Avenue U from 45th St to Sias Street.
Smoke testing is a proven method in which technicians utilize a smoke generator to blow nontoxic smoke into manholes. The smoke travels through sewer pipes and finds its way out, lightly billowing from the ground when cracks in the underground piping exist. The coordinates of damaged pipes are carefully notated to be addressed in future projects.
