As many of you recently noticed, the SE smells are back on the table. The City of Calgary is aware of the issue; here is the update on the current situation for Mahogany community.
Mahogany Smells (January 2023 Update from Evan Spencer)
“In August the forcemain that transports sewage to the Mahogany lift station failed and so there is a second pipe that is now transporting sewage in that area. The challenge is that this is a larger pipe and it creates more of an atmosphere for the creation of odours. We are working on various odour mitigations but the most effective ones will take some time. In the meantime we have placed charcoal filters in some of the problem manholes – the charcoal is being replaced regularly but we are now looking into increasing the frequency of changing those filters to better mitigate odours.
We have been working on a plan to switch back to the 250mm forcemain. We expect this to be complete this month, and we anticipate this will result in the odour issues being resolved. I don’t have exact dates on when this switch will happen, but the project timeline indicates January 2023.”
When you notice the odours, please continue to report them to 311.
