This is going to be a real eye opener to some of you folks. So be prepared and watch what is going on very carefully should you be home when it happens or some sort of residue all over the place. AND soon afterwards, you WILL receive a letter to change the connections or ELSE.
THE SANITARY SEWERS IN YOUR AREA WILL BE SMOKE TESTED
The City of Vienna will be smoke testing the sanitary sewers starting Monday July 23, 2018, 8:00 am – 4:00 pm. Sewers will be filled with smoke to detect where rainwater is entering the sanitary sewer system.
To prevent smoke from entering your building through the plumbing, make sure floor drain traps are full of water. To do this pour one gallon of water down the floor drain or any other seldom used drain in the building.
The smoke being used is white with a slight odor and in non – combustible and non – toxic.
Residents with pre-existing skin disorders or respiratory, pulmonary and lung disorders should use caution and avoid contact with smoke.
To ensure the safety of our work crews you may be asked to keep pets inside while work is being done in your area.
If you have any questions, please call the Public Works Department at (304) 295-4543.
Thank you for your cooperation.
See where the Parks Department is still trying to get the light poles painted at Jackson Park. It seems to me, that I suggested letting some of the VFD guys use the Ladder Trucks from the VFD to lift them up to paint the poles. They of course would be paid (petty cash or contingency funds as Law allows)? This would allow them to earn a few bucks, get around the equipment while up in the air and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
But than again, it is a suggestion from me and we know how Mr. Rapp loves me?
Will comment later on the Court Hearing from Friday- 20th.
As I was leaving the above Hearing yesterday, I saw Mr. McKinley in the parking lot across from what I guess is the P'burg City Hall Building? In any case, it is the big one next to the Court House.
He was doing something to a Parking Meter (campaign contribution retrieval maybe?), and not doing very well.
I stopped and rolled down my window, he waved to me and I said "just pretend it is a voting machine". He laughed and said "Am I supposed to jimmie it open"? I replied back to him "No Sir that is for the Ballot Boxes". We both laughed and I said "have a good day" and came home.
Said the other day that yesterday was going to be a busy day and it was. Not just because of the banter with Mr. McKinley, which would be a highlight of the year for many, but as I have just noted was leaving the Hearing on the latest Court Case with our ever effervescent Mr. Rapp.
I had to rush home to take my darling Sainted Wife of decades to another Kidney Stone operation. So it was a full day with many issues. Yet seems is always about Politics and/or Medical? Life is interesting if it is someone else's but a Bi*** if your own?
My darling did well on surgery and her dime size stone is passing like the "Sands of Time". She is feeling better but ticked off because she was told could/ should not eat any Ice Cream for a day or so due to effect on Kidney? But she could eat Oatmeal. She really wanted an Ice Cream Float so was ticked off about that. Guess one could say "Life is Hell" sometimes.
In any case, she could not help Dairy Farmer from prior days story by using Milk, ate some type of Filipino Soup instead and I had the pleasure of another day in Court. How could it possibly get any better than that- :) ? Oh yeah, joking with Mr. McKinley, may never wash these lips again. 'nuff said'.
