As the leaves start to fall, many utilities see a rise in the
amount of odor complaints being logged. Warm days and cool nights
provide an inversion that seems to intensify odor. Coupled with
little to no rainfall to flush-out the system, your sewer system
becomes a breeding ground for hydrogen sulfide. When hydrogen
sulfite is high, the all to unpleasant aroma of rotten eggs begins
to lace the air. Chemicals are currently available to mitigate the
problem and have proven to work quite effectively. However, these
chemicals can become quite expensive if used on a regular basis
over a long period over time.
