The odor control system is running well. Any odors should be reported to the District staff for investigation and correction.

The primary digester went through final inspection and was brought online August 23rd. As of today, the primary digester is half full. Bringing this digester back online has contributed to the reduction in odors. This combined with continued strong performance from the Bioway odor control system has resulted in our lowest odor levels this year.

The District designed and recently built a $1.6 million odor control project. We have experienced a significant reduction in odors following startup of the odor control systems. In the next several months, when our large digester goes back on line, we should experience further reductions in odors.
