Wastewater Treatment Plant Odors

The District has made significant improvements to the treatment process, some of which reduce odors. In just the last two years the District has designed and built drum thickeners which are used to thicken sludge and which reduces our sludge handling costs.

In November of 2008 the District completed the design and installation of a new coarse air diffuser system for our digesters. Properly aerated sludge produces fewer odors and provides for more optimum digestion of our sludge.

Even with the above improvements, every 3-6 weeks we have to have an outside contractor come in and dewater the sludge from the digesters in order to remove the sludge and begin the process again. When this process is occurring it produces some odors. The odors stop when the process has been completed. Generally the process last for one to three days depending on how much sludge there is to dewater and how thick the sludge is.

If you experience wastewater plant odors please contact our Wastewater Manager, Mark McCormack at 491-0128. If you do not reach Mark, please call 392-8848. We encourage our customers to come out and take a tour of our facility. It is impossible for a wastewater treatment plant treating and processing human waste to prevent odors 100 percent of the time, but we do our best to minimize the frequency and intensity of odors at our plant.
