Sewer system smoke testing to be performed in Waimea next week
WAIMEA — The public is advised that the Wastewater Management Division will perform
additional smoke testing on its Waimea sewer collection system next week.
This is a follow up to the smoke testing that was performed in July 2018. Smoke testing
will be performed from June 3 to 5, from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The neighborhoods that will be
smoke tested include Menehune Road, and the connecting streets, between Kaumuali`i
Highway and Pule Road and the neighborhood makai of Kaumuali`i Highway between Alawai
Road and Moana Road.
Smoke testing uses a non -toxic smoke and is helpful in identifying areas where
infiltration/inflow (storm water entering the sewer main) is occurring. The tests will consist of
approximately 20 minutes of work at each manhole in the area.
Traffic control, using flaggers, will be implemented in the work areas.
Motorists should drive with caution, expect delays, and adjust their travel times as
needed.
Anyone with questions may contact Jason Kagimoto with the Department of Public
Works at 808-241-4083 or via email at jkagimoto(a_kauai.gov.
