County plans sewer smoke test in District 2; officials coordinate with sheriff and emergency manager
Summary
County officials said state personnel will conduct a smoke test in a District 2 sewer area near Fourth Street; the county is coordinating assistance from the sheriff's department and the emergency manager. Commissioners also praised county crews for recent asphalt work in the Second District.
During the meeting a participant said state officials plan to run a smoke test on sewer lines in District 2 to identify leaks or defects. The speaker said county staff have identified several sites for testing, that the sheriff’s office has assigned personnel to assist, and that the county emergency manager (referred to as Tommy in the record) may provide support during the testing.
The participant said the smoke test will help locate "holes" or other defects in the sewer system. The meeting record indicates staff will coordinate logistical support and field assistance when the state conducts the test; no date or formal interagency agreement was recorded during the session.
Separately, a commissioner praised county crews for recent asphalt paving in the Second District, noting work continued in extreme heat and that the resurfaced stretch “turned out nice.” The compliment was directed at county road crews; no contract or procurement action was discussed in the meeting record.
The meeting did not record formal direction to execute repairs following the smoke test; it recorded that staff and public-safety partners will assist the state-run inspection and report findings to the commission for potential follow-up.
