Resident complains of sewer-gas odors from Kendall sewer line; board pledges inspection
Summary
A Hamlin resident reported recurring sewer-gas odors after an air-relief valve was installed on the Kendall sewer line; the board said the highway superintendent will inspect vault covers and seek a solid cover if necessary.
A Hamlin resident told the Town Board that a breather valve installed on the Kendall sewer line is producing recurring sewer-gas odors that make it difficult to open windows and that the smell has persisted in nearby yards.
The resident asked what remedies and compensation are available for what he described as ongoing odor and the possibility of sewer gas entering his property. The chair said the highway superintendent and 'Mike' would inspect the vault cover and determine whether a solid cover could be installed in place of one with breather holes.
The board committed to check the installation and to follow up with the resident; no specific remediation timeline or compensation decision was recorded in the meeting minutes.
