City conducts smoke test of sewer lines this week

The city’s public works maintenance crews will be conducting a smoke test of the sewer lines that serve the Newberg campus Aug. 22-25. The smoke is a non-toxic gas that will escape the sewer system through house and building vents.

Any smoke seen coming from a drain or fixture inside your house or building should be reported immediately to the city by calling 503-537-1234. Smoke coming from roof vents do not need to be reported to the city.

Thank you!
