Warren conducting stormwater infiltration investigation

WARREN — The Warren Water Pollution Control Center this week began conducting field investigations in the southeast part of the city to determine the sources of stormwater getting into sanitary sewers.

The streets involved include Perkinswood, Central Parkway, Trumbull, Meadowbrook, Eastland, Catalpa, Devon, Edgehill and Patchen.

The work will take several months but should cause no inconvenience for residents. Crews will place bright green dye into the system. It may appear in ditches and storm sewer inlets. Crews may also smoke test some sewers, as well as make visual and video camera inspections of sewers.

Anyone with concerns can call the Water Pollution Control Department at 330-841-2591 from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
