The city wastewater management department has installed a pressurized sewer line near a piece of property I own. There's a manhole about a hundred feet away, and there's an automatic system in the manhole that vents the gas from raw sewage through the manhole cover. The gas drifts across my property whenever the wind is blowing from that direction, and the stench persists depending on the wind speed and other conditions. I've complained about the situation repeatedly, but they tell me the line won't work properly if the gas isn't vented, and I'll just have to live with it. I've put my plans for the property on hold because I don't want to put up with the smell of raw sewage.
Is there some way the gas can be vented that doesn't have such an adverse affect on nearby properties?
