Washington County Department of Water Quality Announces Smoke Testing for Maugansville Sewer System

HAGERSTOWN, MD (July 21, 2025) – Washington County Department of Water Quality will conduct a smoke test on the Maugansville Sewer System from Tuesday, July 22, 2025, through Friday, July 25, 2025, between

7:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The testing will be performed north of Maugans Avenue in the Seneca Ridge and Countryside areas.

During the test, non-toxic smoke will be introduced into the sewer system to help identify potential issues. Residents may observe smoke coming from manholes in the street and rooftop vents of nearby buildings. This is a normal part of the testing process and does not indicate a problem. Smoke will not enter homes unless there is an existing plumbing issue.

If you have questions or concerns about the smoke test, please contact the Washington County Department of Water Quality at 240-313-2600.

For additional information, please contact Washington County’s Public Relations & Marketing Department at [email protected].
