    Default Fox Creek

    Does anyone know whats up with the stench coming from the pumping station at Fox Creek? I really feel sorry for anyone living or doing business downwind.

    That "stench" has been around there for as long as I can remember.

    That stench has been present for at least 50 years. Most likely longer than that.

    Sounds good in theory, but I think the gradient of those streams might be an issue. There's very little drop from the outskirts of the city to the river. So any rivers/streams there were very likely very slow moving. Slow moving streams combined with runoff of a populated area and the reason they were covered over in the first place would become apparent rather quickly.
