Working to minimize odors
Thank you to everyone who has alerted us to odors. Metropolitan Council is committed to being a good neighbor and keeping wastewater odors to a minimum.
We are taking these actions to minimize odors:
- Operate odor control carbon filters and control systems
- Evaluate air flows and odor levels
- Implement a chemical injection pilot study to reduce odors
- Investigate why wastewater upstream has changed and possible strategies to reduce odors at our lift station
Plans to do more
We are planning these additional actions:
- Install a permanent chemical injection system pending pilot study
- Evaluate other odor treatment technologies that can handle high strength wastewater
- Continue monitoring and report results to the neighborhood yearly
