This $775M wastewater plant in B.C. is still seeing odour complaints
Bad smells continue to waft into the daily lives of those living around the $775-million McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant in Greater Victoria, despite the project’s promise to not cause noticeable odours beyond its property.
There were 101 official complaints in 2022 and about 20 related to the sewage treatment site so far in 2023 . The Capital Regional District said the 2023 figure is down, but the summer season lends to increased complaints as more people open their windows. Mitchell said the CRD has asked people to keep a log of when the odours arise. But with people already fed up with odours they were told they’d never have to deal with, Mitchell said the public shouldn’t be the ones flagging that the smells are present.
The CRD told Black Press Media it regularly monitors odour, but did not address the West Bay association’s requests. The complaints it’s received over the last two years have been logged and mapped to analyze trends based on location, time and maintenance activities, according to a CRD spokesperson.
