Arcola, TX - Project News

You will find information here about the work performed by Wade & Associates, in partnership with ECO Resources, for the City of Arcola, TX .

We are proud of our performance record with cities and municipalities across the nation, representing Wade's commitment to excellence. 

Arcola Study Area

The City of Arcola retained Wade & Associates to conduct smoke testing of the City's sanitary collection system.  The goal of the study was to identify I/I (inflow and infiltration) defects contributing to sewer overflows and backups in the system.

Wade Smoke Testing

This Sanitary Sewer Evaluation includes smoke testing 61,000 linear feet of pipeline as well as approximately 30 inspections of deep manholes to locate system defects. The Arcola collection system is divided into three service areas. The Study Area encompases all three service areas.

Wade crews carry identification and use marked company vehicles. 

Door hanger notification for smoke testing of sanitary sewer lines in the Arcola Study Area will be distributed at least 2 days before testing in the area begins.  Smoke generation materials used are:

NON-TOXIC, HARMLESS, VIRTUALLY ODORLESS, AND CREATE NO FIRE HAZARD.

We make every effort to coordinate our evaluation activities with city officials, citizens, and business owners in the area to limit traffic disruption and to avoid interference with planned community-wide events.

Visit our SSES Services links to learn more about our field investigations. Check our Daily Study Schedule link for a map of the study area and daily listing of streets and neighborhoods investigated.  

Our goal is to find and reduce defects in your wastewater collection system to eliminate future sanitary sewer overflows and backups and to control wet-weather flows.  Inflow & Infiltration reduction reduces costs of excessive relief sewer construction and protects the health and well being of the public and the environment. 

We would like to thank the citizens of Arcola, Texas
 for their effort in making this important project a success!
