A failure of some mechanics left community members near Three Rivers smelling sewage-like scents over the weekend
“We’re sitting on the river and I got a pretty good, you know, raft of sewage smell,” said resident Denise Wetherell.
It turns out that it was a partial failure in the Lagoon Aeration System. Crews that installed the system are coming in to fix the issue.
The failure had no impact on drinking water, showers or toilets.
