These cracks are a source for groundwater to infiltrate sewer lines and overload the collection and treatment system. The smoke testing program also allows the city to locate problems in private sewer lines that need to be repaired. The crews will be testing in the following areas: North Franklin Street, Wausau Street, Summit Street, Louisiana Street, West Street, May Street, Ida Street, Henderson Street, Dallas Street, Hargrove Street and Sledge Street.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A city news release said they take the time to notify the general public, because the smoke can be mistaken as a fire when smoke vents out through commercial or residential sewer vent pipes on their roof or even in their yard.
