Salt Lake City commits to a cleaner, greener wastewater treatment plant in Rose Park — and an end to that familiar sewer smell.
and two large residential areas. The firm’s contract requires follow-up odor data once the new plant is fully functioning.Going forward, a new mechanical dewatering building will isolate odors indoors, with a rigorous system designed to capture and treat foul-smelling air before releasing it into the atmosphere.
The new dewatering building under construction at Salt Lake City Public Utilities' water reclamation facility on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2022. The new facility will include covers over most of the channels or basins that produce odors, Barry said. “With a lid on top, we essentially generate a vacuum so negative pressure in the area sucks the odors to a biofilter to dramatically decrease them.”
Years ago, the mechanical dewatering and odor reduction concepts were too expensive, Barry said. “No question, drying beds are the cheapest way to dry solids. It’s very effective. But as the city grows and develops around the treatment plant, it’s become necessary to treat odors more proactively and to use our land more efficiently. It’s definitely cost effective at this point.For her part, first-term council member Petro-Eschler welcomes any move from industry to be a better neighbor.
“Knowing that Public Utilities is addressing these issues is the kind of good faith effort we need on the west side,” she said. “It can take years for these efforts to take hold because the economic and environmental inequities are so systemic and deeply ingrained. It takes regular and steady commitment to change quality of life. We look forward to it.”
