We are here off Foothills Blvd,here in Yuma. Does anyone else get a real bad sewer smell, The city crew has been here twice to clean the main lines. but it hasn't helped. Guess we'll really have to think about returninh. We'll be leaving here early.

Not sure where your at in the Foothills but on East County 14th street, there is a treatment plant there, seems like every year we come to this area, we also get a bad odor everywhere we go it seems...Yuck

Do a google search on Far West Water and Sewer Yuma, Arizona.You will find many articles about the problem. The sewer system belongs to a private company that has a system unable to handle the demand. That probably was not the city you saw pumping but if it was Far West was footing the bill.

Guess we'll really have to think about returninh. We'll be leaving here early.We are in North Foothills east of Fortuna Wash. No odor here until we head for town and drop into the wash where there is a definite sewer smell. We asked some of the year round residence about the odor and they told us the golf courses are using water from the treatment plant to water the courses... Glad I don't golf.

In December we were in a lot on E46th St. in the south Foothills on the west side, as we walked up the hill towards the new development I noted a strong sewer smell coming out of the vents on the houses near the top of the hill. It's been around a while as homeowners have extended vent stacks to disperse the smell. Doesn't happen down the hill. I also noted a truck pumping out the reservoir at the bottom of the hill. Must be a capacity problem.

One of my neighbors told me that the odor was coming from the pool at the Foothills Golf Course on County 14. I couldn't believe that because there is a putting green right near it.

I biked past yesterday, though, and saw a sewage truck backed up to the large adjacent flat-topped building with a huge hose going through an access door. One of the biggest sewer tankers I have seen. Don't know what they are doing, but it was evidence that the sewage treatment plant is under wraps in that building.

Now I am wondering if those folks aren't golfing around secondary effluent!
