Topic Ongoing Odor Issue at Oso Water Treatment
Plant
Agenda Item Number J
Describe Feedback: Please address the persistent odor
emanating from the Oso Water Treatment
Plant, particularly concerning its impact on
air quality near Councilman Hunter's
residence and our community as a whole.
The ongoing issue of the unpleasant odor has
been affecting our neighborhood whenever
the wind direction changes, significantly
impacting our quality of life. This is next to
the future Barisi Village,
I urge the City Council to provide
transparency on the action plan in place to
resolve this long-standing problem. Can we
expect regular updates on the efforts being
1
made to mitigate the odor concerns?
Additionally, could there be a timeline
established for when improvements will be
implemented to address this issue
effectively?
Over the years, there have been numerous
reports highlighting this problem,yet it
persists. The similarity of issues on Williams
Drive between Nile and Airline underscores
