Being a good neighbor by controlling odors is a part of the normal operation of every Town of Cary water reclamation facility. The Town implements proactive measures to manage sewer odors and regularly monitors our existing treatment facilities, pipeline network, and pump stations for odor releases. We also include odor control design in new and existing sewer system projects as part of our commitment to address odor issues proactively. Here are some of the technologies and methods used to minimize and/or neutralize odors:
