"Issue 1584062 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue." This is not acceptable.

@Digger, from the City's perspective, there is currently one odour issue being reported by several people, not multiple issues. By consolidating duplicates, City staff can respond efficiently to the problem in one place - one of the benefits of SeeClickFix is the ability to do just this, rather than dealing with separate email threads on the one issue.

Saying all that, please advise if you believe these are different issues, we're just in the first month of using the system and there are sure to be issues along the way.

You mention that you are in the first month of using the new system and there are sure to be issues along the way. There are more than just issues. It is the worst it has ever been! I can smell the sewage INSIDE my home now. Try eating your supper with the smell of the town's crap going in your nose every time you take a breath. Southside residents should get a tax reduction. This is completely unacceptable.

I'd really like to leave my windows open in the evening to cool off my house... I CANT!!!!! The smell is so absolutely disgusting and nauseating that I cannot leave the windows open
Thank you city of revelstoke for NOT putting a rush in to fix this problem!!!!! It's getting worse not better!!!!!

Maybe a letter to the MLA or the media will light a fire under you to get the work done faster!
Completely unacceptable

Something needs to be done about this. Yesterday was absolutely disgusting. For this town being such a great ski resort they should feel embarassed this is happening. When you are unable to leave your windows open or sit in your yard this subject should be tbe first priority of the city....not the city hall renos.

This is a long comment, but it has been a big issue for a large number of residents. We're a month into the installation of the mixers at the sewer lagoon and the operation of the sewer odour control equipment, and the odours from the building are down to almost nothing, as the activated carbon filters do their job scrubbing the odour forming compounds from the air.

The lagoons continue to improve in health, and even with the run of hot weather over the past couple of weeks, the mixers are helping keep the ponds working in a healthy, aerobic state.The operators have found that the mixers are requiring significant cleaning, as the mixing action is bringing rags, "flushable wipes", sanitary pads, tampons and other materials to the surface. We are hoping that this level of effort will reduce over time as these materials are removed from the ponds. Note that the City does have a Screen Separator installed, so most of the solids are screened before entering the lagoons, but if this equipment is offline for maintenance, additional solid material can enter the ponds. Here's an article about the screening equipment:

Note that flushable wipes should not be flushed, nor should any other wipe, cloth or sanitary device other than toilet paper. Because the internet is a vast resource for discovering extreme municipal oddities, here is an article about a 14 tonne, bus sized congealed ball of fat and baby wipes that was found in a London sewer. While Revelstoke hasn't dealt with anything that size, it is a constant issue in lift stations and sewer mains.

For the health of your sewer service, to minimize the chance of sewer backups, and to protect the City's system; you should only flush the “three Ps”: pee, poop and toilet paper, and in the kitchen remove solids as well as cooking fats and greases from pans and dishes before washing them.

There are still some odours noticeable occasionally particularly with the hot weather, this is pretty normal for an aerated lagoon system, and the City will continue to monitor and investigate ways to limit the odours. The 5-year capital plan does have funds for sewer lagoon upgrades in 2019, over the next few years we will begin to develop options and cost estimates for these upgrades, which will likely focus on increased sewer flows due to development.

Thanks for the update and thanks to the city of all the efforts to get this fixed. The entire southside neighbourhood is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
