ENV SMOKE TESTING SEWER PIPES IN LAENANI, MIOMIO

 

(Thur., Aug. 18, 2011) – The City's Department of Environmental Services (ENV) will smoke test a portion of the wastewater collection system in Laenani and Miomio Aug. 23-26.

 

         The daytime testing, which may last up to a week, is part of ENV's preventative maintenance program to prevent rainwater from entering the sewer system. ENV crews pump smoke into sewer pipes, examine whether smoke escapes and record its location. The smoke used is non-toxic, harmless and minimal odor. The smoke is neither a fire hazard nor health hazard to humans or pets.

 

         Tests locate broken pipes, illegal connections, open cleanouts and other paths for runoff to enter the sewer system. Runoff from heavy rain can overwhelm and surcharge the sewer system and treatment plants, causing sanitary sewer overflows.

 

         Residents and affected businesses will be notified by mail and door notices a few days before testing begins. In addition, ENV will notify Fire and Police communications centers at the beginning of each testing day. The attached map illustrates the streets (in the shaded area) that will be tested.

      NEXT TWO MACLFSS MEETINGS POSTPONED

 

(Mon., Aug. 15, 2011) – The Mayor's Advisory Committee on Landfill Site Selection (MACLFSS) meetings scheduled August 16 and August 26 have been postponed.

 

The consultant, R.M. Towill Corporation, was asked at the last meeting by the Committee to investigate potential landfill sites within Oahu's Underground Injection Control (UIC) Line and No Pass Zone. This postponement is in accordance with an agreement made by the Committee early on in the proceedings not to convene meetings if all needed information was not available such that the gatherings would be less productive.

 

The investigation of landfill sites within the UIC Line and No Pass Zone requires the consultant to contact and coordinate between a number of governmental agencies, including but not limited to the Board of Water Supply, the Solid Waste and Safe Drinking Water branches of the State Department of Health (DOH), and the State Commission on Water Resource Management.

 

Multiple factors must also be considered and analyzed, including private as well as public water and well resources. These factors concern whether the land at issue is:  in the State Conservation District; considered prime agricultural land; within a parcel of sufficient size to be utilized for a landfill; located next to already developed areas; and, located within proximity to DOH designated "impaired" State waters.

 

Once the required data is collected and the research is completed, a meeting will be scheduled where the Commission will be fully informed.
