The View from Fort Sumner

8/23/2016

 
If you've read the Press Herald or the Forecaster recently, you're familiar with the issue here: a developer is contemplating a 6-story condo project that could block the views from Fort Sumner.

The aroma doesn't often waft its way down to my home in East Bayside, so I usually don't encounter it unless I go running or biking along the East End Trail. I do both of those things quite often, though, so I am familiar with the typical smell level of the facility. 

Some level of smell is to be expected from a wastewater treatment facility, of course, and the benefits provided to the community by wastewater treatment far outweigh the inconvenience of the smell. However, the increased odor as well as concerns from District One constituents about the potential for health risks associated with it prompted me to contact officials at the Portland Water District for information.
