East Rome Sewer Smoke Test Nov. 11–12: East Dominick Street, Taft and Brennon Avenues

City of Rome contractors will pump non-toxic smoke into sewer lines in east Rome from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Thursday, Nov. 12, the Rome Sentinel reported.

Where: the southeast end of Griffiss Business and Technology Park and the neighborhoods along East Dominick Street, including the Shady Grove Trailer Park and homes on Taft and Brennon avenues.

Why: Public Works is hunting for cracks and spots where groundwater leaks into the sewer system. Smoke escaping where it shouldn't shows them where.

Before Wednesday: pour water down every drain in your home or building so the traps stay full and the smoke stays out.

Smoke in your home? Call the project's field engineer (Barton & Loguidice) at 315-569-2992 or Rome Public Works at 315-339-7653. Arold Construction is doing the work.
