  • It does reek. Roll up your windows when driving by, especially when it's hot outside.
  • I live in a Condo South of the Sewage Plant. Its not that bad, go try and purchase a condo in this area, its like $300'000+ for anything over 800 square feet. And lets not forget about all the new condos coming up in this area.
  • The Sewage treatment plant gets overwhelmed after rain storms. There is too much water in the sewage system and untreated water is released into the Humber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormwater
