Sanitary Sewer Smoke Testing to Begin

Body

--City of Newport News--

Smoke testing of the sanitary sewer system will take place within the neighborhood of Sedgefield in the City of Newport News from late February into early March.

Testing along your street is planned
between these dates:

 
February 24 - March 10, 2025
 
(This schedule is situation and weather dependent)

This non-invasive test of the sanitary sewer system typically does not require private property access and will usually take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless in a school zone. Depending on the outcome of the smoke testing, private property access may need to occur, and you will be contacted directly by a member of the project team in advance if access is needed.

Please view the Frequently Asked Questions here for some tips about what to expect during the Smoke Testing.
