Smoke Testing - Thursday, February 16th, 2023
Smoke testing is a process used by the Town of Lake Lure Public Works/Utilities to identify issues with the sewer system. Non-toxic smoke is blown into manholes and crews observe areas where smoke escapes identifying broken manholes, cracked lines, and illegal connections.
Beginning on Thursday, February 16th, 2023, smoke testing will begin at Manhole 1. Residents of the following roads may see smoke in their area: Neighborly Dr, Sunset Cove Rd, Scenic View Ln, Deerwood Dr, Thomas Dr, Allen Dr, Ridge Rd, Edwards Point, and Blarney Rd.
The Town of Lake Lure will be posting any necessary updates here on our website at www.townoflakelure.com. Any questions may be directed to Lake Lure Public Works/Utilities at 828-625-9983 x 201.
Note: Smoke should not enter homes or businesses unless the plumbing is not functioning properly or if it is rarely used. If smoke does enter the home or business, please open a window to allow for ventilation, exit the building, and notify Town personnel at Lake Lure Public Works/Utilities at the number above. If you have any doubts about the origin of the smoke, please dial 911.
Thank you for your patience as this smoke testing is performed.
