Some people in Vallejo say they are overwhelmed by an unpleasant smell coming from the water front sewage treatment plant.
Officials at the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District are apologizing but admit the smell will likely come and go until November. The smell is often worse depending on the wind, or if the temperature is hotter than 80 degrees. 'It is horrible,' said Judy Houghgailing. 'It's just disgusting, I can't describe it. You can taste it. That's how bad it is. You can taste it.
The Wastewater District did send a letter in March to residents in a half-mile radius of the plant warning that the smell may be noticeable until about mid May, but it's still happening Operations Superintendent Orlando Cortez said the district both underestimated the timeline and the radius. 'I would probably go two miles, hindsight is 20/20,' said Cortez. The project is expected to be done by November, ahead of storm season.
