We are about to start a trial at the Seaview Wastewater Treatment Plant, where we’ll be turning off odour deodorisers at the plant for two weeks to assess the impact on odour levels. This is in response to community feedback in a recent meeting on 25 November where it was shared that the chemicals used in this equipment made the odour worse.
The trial details are:
-
The trial runs from Wednesday, 4 December until Wednesday, 18 December.
-
To help us to assess the impact and effectiveness of the trial, we are asking the community to fill in a quick online odour survey daily to let us know of your experience of odour levels.
-
You can fill in this survey whenever you notice a smell.
-
Please continue to complete the survey until the end of December so we may establish a baseline for comparison purposes.
-
If there is significant negative impact experienced by the community during the trial, it will be shut down earlier than planned.
-
We will be monitoring feedback, odour scouting results and complaints very closely throughout the trial.
