A reminder for residents in the city of Wayland that there is sewer testing occurring today and tomorrow. The city sewers are being checked for leaks that may be allowing excessive amounts of storm water in the system.

Residents need to be aware they could find smoke in their house when this happens. City officials stress the smoke is non-toxic and won’t stain, it also doesn’t smell like smoke from a fire. Any residents who get smoke in their home, just need to open windows and doors and turn on exhaust fans and the smoke should go away. If you get smoke in your house but there is not a fire smoke smell, then you are asked to call Wayland City Hall at 319-256-3276 to help engineers better locate possible leaks.
