A new facility has brought relief to a neighborhood that had been plagued by sewer odors for decades. The $5.3 million facility has cleared the air, according to neighbors. Residents had previously been greeted by the smell of sewage when stepping outside their homes. The problem had been ongoing for years, with one resident describing the odor as smelling like poop.

The neighborhood had been complaining about the sewer odor for decades, according to Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller. A new two-story facility has been opened to address the issue. Further details about the facility and its impact on the neighborhood are available.
