View notice & more details at VBGov.com:
By watching to see where smoke escapes, crews can identify problem areas in the pipes for further sanitary sewer investigation techniques. Smoke may be seen coming from manhole covers, storm inlets, or holes in the ground. On occasion, smoke may be seen coming from building foundations or roof vent stacks. However, the smoke should not enter your home or business unless you have defective plumbing or dried-up drain traps. If you have any seldom used drains, pouring water into the drain to fill the trap will help prevent sewer gases or odors and smoke from entering your home or business.
Your neighborhood should receive flyers on your doors alerting you to the day it’ll be done.

Here’s how you can help:
But time is running out – CBF has space for only 50 more names to be included in their Raise the Roof effort. Each $100 donation will help purchase a permanent zinc tile as part of the center’s iconic curved roof. In appreciation, your name or the name of those you wish to honor will be memorialized forever on a plaque in the Center. To make a gift, visit cbf.org/brockRTR or call the Hampton Roads office at 757/622-1964.
As a model for sustainability and resiliency from the ground up, CBF’s Brock Environmental Center has been designed to create virtually no waste, be powered by the wind and the sun, and supply all of its own water. It will demonstrate how all of us can live, work and play beside ecologically sensitive locations without causing harm. And it will inspire all to become better stewards of our natural world. Together we will save the Bay and ensure a brighter future with healthy waterways for all.
