Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority
Serving: Elkin, Jonesville, and Ronda North Carolina
SMOKE TESTING
Update: 01/03/25
Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority will be conducting smoke testing.
This is a routine process to identify any leaks issues in the sewer system.
Important info:
- The smoke used is non-toxic, odorless, and harmless to people, pets, and plants.
- It does not create fire hazard.
- You may see smoke coming from manholes, yards, or building vents - this is normal.
- It is advisable to pour water into every sink, tub, and floor drain that is NOT subject to everyday use. This will fill the traps in the plumbing and prevent smoke from entering the building.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact YVSA at 336-835-9819.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Elkin Public Library
"Completed the job in an excellent fashion"
"I can't thank you enough for your great team assisting the Elkin Library by cleaning its
lower parking area.
I appreciate the work of Alvin, Robert, Buddy, and Tyler as well as the tractor to scrape,
the 800+ gallons of water, and psi of the water hoses. I was dismayed to see that they had to
shovel mud but I did not realize the amount of effort it would take. But they kept on working
cheerfully and completed the job in an excellent fashion.
Thank you for the fine service you and your staff give to the community"
Martha M Smith
Branch Librarian
"Many thanks for your generosity of labor and water"
"On behalf of the Northwestern Regional Library, I would like to thank you and employees for cleaning
the lower parking lot at the Elkin Public Library. We know that you were extremely busy during the
aftermath of the storm, and we all certainly appreciate your generosity in making sure that the parking lot was cleared of silt left after the creek rose.
It was an experience to watch the water rising and flowing over the waterfall. We had not seen the creek this high and are glad that that there was no damage here. I am sure that you all were very busy all over town with clean up after the storm.
Again, many thanks for your generosity of labor and water. We all very much appreciate your going the extra mile.
If there is any way that any of us can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me."

Water Infrastructure Challenges
A PBS Public Broadcast Special.
Access to efficient, healthy water and wastewater services is a significant problem for historically disadvantaged communities, both in North Carolina and nationally. The North Carolina Division of Water Infrastructure exists to improve access to efficient, healthy water and wastewater services for rural communities. The Division was created in 2013 to bring all water infrastructure funding programs together, providing support to get water utilities on firmer footing, making them more logistically and financially sustainable. When small communities struggle to provide services to residents, the Division often encourages combining into regions for long-term success.
