Workes will blow a "non-toxic harmless smoke" through the sewer system. It will help locate areas that need repair and will ensure the safe functioning of Superior's sewer system.

Homeowner's don't need to be home during the test, but should alert the city if smoke enters their home.

Homeowners aren't required to be at home for the test. However, if they are at home and they notice the smoke entering their home they should contact the city by calling 715-394-0392. If you return home after the testing and discover smoke, you should also call that number.
