Waitaki District Council is undertaking Smoke Testing of our wastewater system around Oamaru. Smoke testing is designed to identify areas of the wastewater network which requires attention and determine if there are any cross connections between wastewater and stormwater.

 

The smoke testing is conducted using a completely harmless and non-toxic white vapour (like the kind used in smoke machines). It is considered safe for humans, animals and plants, leaves no residue or stains, is not a fire hazard and will disappear rapidly without leaving an odour.

The attached Fact Sheet provides residents with more information about this process.
