How will my residents know when Smoke Testing will be performed in their neighborhoods?
Prior to beginning the smoke testing, the Sewer Division will place door hangers on the front door of every building on the streets to be smoke tested at least 24 to 48 hours in advance. Notices will be distributed by 2 people from the smoke testing field crew. If requested by the city, the Sewer Division will post the smoke testing schedule on the Village of Deerfield website.
