Meat processing plant in a residential area. The stench carries throughout the neighborhood. Cockroaches galore. Seriously degrades the quality of life in the area.

no official does anything permanent about it. sewage treament trucks areba regular sight in the neighborhood. our sewage rates keep getting hiked despite an infrastructure grant from the federal government.
the stench is so strong it is enough to gag a child playing outside. its a shame, because these people actually care about this place, despitenit being neglected by local officials.

This company is an expense to the local tax payers. Whoever owns it is obviously making money at the expense of our own misery and money. It was set up so unprofessionally that they dumped huge amounts of fat runnoff into the sewer, until it exploded, 3 years ago. Ever since then it has been non stop sewer problems that actually cause backing up into people's homes! At one point a storm drain expoded like a guiser into the street! Still the smell, and the sewer problems continue. The factory smells horrible. In the summer you can't open your windows on a nice day. Then the sewer truck comes, you can't open your window then. Why should I suffer because these people are making money? They didn't set up their business properly, and got away with it...why? Where was the local government? Where was the zoning? What are my taxes doing to pay my elected officials here?

When I got home, I called public works, who transferred me to the health department. The health department transferred me to the fire department's office number, as I explained the aforementioned. The fire department's office number was an answering machine. The end.
The person at public works sounded displeased and said that I should always call the fire department directly when I smell this smell. I said we smell it all the time, and there' s o fire, but it is particularly bad today with a strong side kick of propane. She said to always call them, anyway, when one smells a gassy smell.

Awful odor used to afflict neighborhood west of meat factory. After many complaints to Astra, stench now hits community north of this meat factory. Don't know what they did to change the direction of the problem.
No community should have to put up with this problem.

But, we are always ouside, or even on a cooler day, have a window cracked open, to suddenly have your home enveloped with sewer steak.
