Work is expected to be completed in June, according to a city news release.

They will be checking for blockages with a Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool (SL-RAT) which operates with acoustic sound. During this time, residents may experience unusual noises coming from sewer lines, which is normal due to the high frequency this tool uses.
