PUBLIC NOTICE FOR RESIDENTS OF BOUND BROOK
The Borough of Bound Brook has authorized T & M Associates to perform an Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) Study on portions of the Borough's sanitary sewer collection system. Portions of the Borough's collection system are experiencing a significant I/I problem which increases sewer flow and results in increased sewage costs.
One phase of this study involves smoke testing of sections of the sanitary sewer to identify leaks, breaks, improper connections, or other problems within the sewer system. This testing is scheduled to be performed starting the week of May 25, 2009.

Notices will be delivered to affected residents before actual testing takes place.
Smoke should not enter any premises unless the sanitary sewer service connection is defective. The presence of any smoke observed during, or after the test, should be reported to personnel conducting the test.
The Dial Smoke Agent is non-toxic, non-staining, and non-corrosive. The smoke is relatively harmless, but, as with any type of smoke, prolonged exposure may be irritating to nasal passages. Therefore, occupants should avoid unnecessary exposure to the smoke.
