I arrived home at a little after 5 o'clock. I could smell an odor behind the house on my porch in the
backyard. I know you covered the lid at the street so I did walk to the front of the house and then
approach the front of the house I could not smell the odor. I walked up the street just a little bit to the
cover. No odor at all. And back to my house went up on the roof and sure enough the odor is being
pushed out of my roof vent stacks, not pleasant. I walked the property to the south behind the neighbors
house. I couldn't smell any older, not sure if there's any coming out of his house . But there's definitely
odor in the back porch making the backyard unusable.
Months ago I spent quite a bit of money trying the roof stack one-way valve vents like you use on a septic
system. This made it so my system wouldn’t flush correctly and the sewage wouldn’t even get out of the
pipe so I don’t know how to keep the odor off of my property unless I was disconnected from the city, and
that’s not gonna work without a septic system.
