Odor problems at the Missoula Wastewater Treatment Plant were so bad at one point recently, that the city received more than 200 odor complaints from the public in one calendar year and a violation from the county health department.

“The nature of wastewater treatment is that there are odors,” said Gene Connell, Treatment Supervisor for the Wastewater Division in Missoula. “But we got some pretty severe complaints from the public.”
