Odour Assessment Select Committee (Salmon Arm)

http://www.salmonarm.myezrock.com/node/472392

Salmon Arm City Council authorized the formation of an Odour Assessment Select Committee. The Committee's job will be to monitor, evaluate and discuss any nuisance odours that may occur at the municipal wastewater treatment facilities. The Committee will be comprised of one City Councilor, the Chief Operator/Manager of the Water Pollution Control Centre, a representative from the Downtown Improvement Association, one nearby Business Owner and two neighbouring Citizens.

Complaints date back several years and they've always been directed at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. Mayor Marty Bootsma says people will complain to each other but the Treatment Plant staff never hears about it and this process will help pinpoint exactly when the odours are detected and its hoped that'll isolate the cause and from there, eventually lead to solving the problem.
