Brunswick County Public Utilities will be conducting smoke testing of the sanitary sewer collections system in an area of Southport on Monday, March 24, 2025. Smoke testing will occur in the area of the 300 block of North Lord Street. 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.
