Residents raise a stink about Greater Victoria wastewater plant two years after CRD promises odours orginating from the plant won't occur
The CRD's wastewater treatment plant opened in 2020, and residents say it has been causing a stink since.
While West Bay residents Lori McAuley and Ross Messenger walk their dog, Seeker, to see for themselves what the stink is about at the McLoughlin Point wastewater treatment plant. “With every whiff of odour, two years ago I had residents meeting with me, and concerned,” Desjardins said.Before construction began, the Capital Regional District promised residents an odour-free plant, it’s designed to treat odour laden air before it’s released.“It does seem to me since the project has all happened, that it’s been more often on, that I smell that there more often than I used to,” McAuley said.
