I would say a big NO seeing you already noted the above (bold part). Shelter & money is one thing, being able to live out your life to enjoy it is another altogether - stay healthy

better don't buy. not near a sewage plant. oxidation pond that near is no problem but a sewage plant is a no no!

now i really can't recall what the agent was saying. not sure if it's an oxidation pond or sewage plant cos my command of the chinese language is not that fantastic and his command of the english language sucks.

i do recall that there's an apartment just right there though...just behind the wall that separates us. that means they are right next to it....hmm...confused.

most likely it will be a mechanical plant. oxidation ponds are old tech. i have been to the inside of a wastewater treatment plant in the course of my studies and it doesn't stinks. in fact i could still remember the solids that first appears out at the initial intake of the plant.. ewww I know

i still remember standing right on the aeration tank where it bubbles up and wonders if the water vapor actually hits me...

the only time i will stinks is when some irresponsible factories disposed off chemical effluents into the sewerage systems.

thanks...although i think i will recce around and ask the residents in that area before i decide. would be a good plan to know my soon-to-be neighbours too.

proper functioning of the plant wont give out much smell

Something like this?

Why worry ... perfectly safe !! if Lynas can be call safe ... what the hell is some dirty water gonna do to you ?

if the smell is that bad, you will have problem renting it out and selling it also

i know certain people will rent it if affordable to them. You know, those like data processing station

or as a factory workers' hostel

wanna buy house, use brain, not use heart.

its base on whether the plant is covered or uncover. if covered should be no problem, but however, the bank will consider this as negative factor to the loan as it might reject the loan (base on bank) due to too near to the plant. better check with the bank u wish b4 purchase.

but for my own i prefer it located at least 100m away from my house, as i dont like dirty or smelly stuff... own personal hygiene too strong..

Eventhough u ask any of the MSTP specialist nowaday, they also cant guarantee you is odour proof, they will blah blah blah IF the treatment is functioning well

I used to stay near one many years ago. Sometimes can smell sometimes cannot. Maybe due to wind direction. I sold it off and moved to another area.

Forget it buy another property... should be no smell however just looking at it will make you sick...

Also one fine day if the machinery breaks down you will die from the smell
