STROUD TOWNSHIP SEWER AUTHORITY NOTICE

Dear Stroud Township Sewer Authority Customer,
Sewer Specialty Services Company will be performing smoke testing within the municipal sewer system on behalf of the Stroud Township Sewer Authority. You are receiving this notice because you are in the vicinity of the testing area that will be taking place in the following weeks. The smoke may be seen emerging from the sewer manholes and possibly from the ground or in/around houses. The smoke is harmless and inert. This type of testing is used to determine where leaks or improper connections to the sanitary system are located. This is related to ongoing efforts to eliminate infiltration and inflow of stormwater into the sewage collection system.

Sanitary lines being tested are located along:
• McMichael Drive
• Paula Drive
• Norton Road
• Creekwood Drive
• Beverly Lane

Anticipated Dates:
• Week of 9/21/2026 – 9/25/2026

The Savvy Citizen app will be used to notify residents of the actual day(s) of the work when known. The app may be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact STSA at (570)-421-5043.

Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Vector Management has reported 1 mosquito sample testing positive for West Nile Virus in Stroud Township. Additional mosquito surveillance, sampling, larval control, and adult mosquito controls are being performed as necessary by County Mosquito-borne Disease Control staff.

We recommend residents take time to inspect their yards and take a few minutes to clean up and dump out any sources of stagnant water. Mosquito surveillance indicates that many common mosquito species in residential areas come from artificial containers left behind by humans. Artificial containers such as tires, buckets, child toys, tarps, and even swimming pools are preferred by mosquitoes because natural predators that prey on mosquito larvae are not present. During periods of drought, these containers continue to hold water and produce mosquitoes. One bucket or tire in someone’s backyard can produce hundreds to thousands of mosquitoes in a year. Performing a community-wide cleanup will also help reduce mosquito concerns and disease risk. Storm-water management systems can sometimes contribute to mosquito issues and are also routinely monitored by our staff.

May through October, mosquitoes can complete their life cycle within five to seven days. Residents should use repellents when spending time outside, a variety of which could be found at most home and garden centers. For individuals who don’t like to use repellents, we recommend taking an electric fan outside with you. Mosquitoes are weak flyers and the fan will help keep them away. As a last resort, residents can purchase insecticides from garden and hardware stores to spray in their yard, but they need to be sure to follow the label instructions.

Residents can contact The Monroe County Mosquito-borne Disease Control Program by calling 570-517-3416 or email [email protected] . Keep in mind that the Mosquito-borne Disease Control Program aims to educate residents about the importance of mosquito larvae habitat reduction on their properties. Individuals may need to report neighbor complaints to their local municipality to rectify the concern.
