Brunswick County Public Utilities will be conducting smoke testing of the sanitary sewer collection system in Southport beginning Tuesday, October 1st, 2024 through Friday, October 11th, 2024. Please be aware that you may see smoke emitting from the ground, manholes, sewer piping, roof vents, or gutters. To prevent the possibility of smoke entering your home, ensure water has been run in your sinks and showers/tubs to put water in your P-traps. This acts as a blockage to keep smoke from coming out of the drains in your home.
