Residents of Libourne, in Gironde, were surprised to see smoke coming out of their gutters or spreading into their street. Harmless clouds distributed as part of the master plan, which involves checks every ten years.
The objective of this maneuver is to detect non-conformities between the rainwater and wastewater networks, the two circuits of which must be distinguished and closed. Seven to eight homes were thus detected in the industrial zone, north of Libourne. They will undergo the necessary work soon. The City of Liboursne communicated on its social networks on Monday, very simply advising to open the windows in the event of smoke. The smoke could escape, for example, through the gutters, thus making it possible to identify a malfunction. It is possible to detect a malfunction in the streets where the houses were poorly connected, so that smoke can be identified. It's also possible to see smoke through the windows of the houses, which can be used as a warning.
