Reply to comment by Mediocre_Coconut_628 in is Southbridge as bad as everyone says? by apple-masher

The funny part is the sewer plant doesn’t smell any worse than any other sewer plant in the world. All that nasty compost smell gets blown over to big y!

Well I’ll disagree with you there, many treatment plants perform odor control and don’t smell nearly that bad. Inside the plant? Yeah sure stinks a little. An 1/8-1/4 mile from the plant? That’s unsat. And I’m talking I’ve worked at deer island in Winthrop and you can’t smell the plant if you’re in the parking lot of the place

I'm curious what they did at the Worcester plant at the southwest cut off. Growing up that place stunk to high heaven. They overhauled it in some way and it's actually liveable over there now.

I meant that you don’t smell that compost very much on-site, the smell is most acute across the river at big y. Still smells there for sure

Yeah. Like I said it’s a tough job with no funding. I wish the town would put some more money into the place. Covered clarifiers, air filtration, additives to the process, all solution, all are expensive.
