Smell dont spread to one direction only.

Remember the motto ....

Easy to buy, Difficilt to sell.

Tell us where and what are you finding. Maybe some good forumers here can share some info.

Hi, tumpang this thread.

Concern about IWK, foul smell, mosquito, pests

Housing area is gated and guarded.

My condo is about 300m from IWK, and I still can smell it on a windy day.

I can't imagine being so closer to IWK.

If one had bought from developer without knowing the IWK, then pray that is a close system.

But if one knowing there is an existing iwk and yet worried about smell or other health hazard whether is open or close system, something is not right asking for validation in a forum.

If I can recall correctly, Taman Kinrara 1 used to be open system but iwk closed it. Since I am not staying there, cant comment on the smell but when I am there, the air seems 'fresh' now.

Agent mentioned it’s just the pump there, the treatment plant open facility is further away.

Should be ok to go?

I think it's old one, because it is not enclosed.

i am in the sewage treatment industry

well maintain plant usually no smell, worst of u might smell abit during rainy days

the plant looks like a major plant, if nearby there is new development tapping into the existing plant, the upgraded plant will be fully enclosed. Just FYI

Why no smell?

The smell is wicked sick when hot days without rain, or when rainy days..
And those gas are corrosive

if properly maintained, smells usually does not occur as it has been fully digest by the bacterias in the pond

as for corrosive or not, yes and no

yes usually if it's enclosed plant and not properly maintain
also for enclosed plant, usually there will be a scrubber system to scrub the remaining gas out

no if its open air, i dont think its tht toxic since its already diluted with the air
having said so, i dont have the figures to prove my point, just based on experience

Anyhow, fengshui wise also is bad ad.. hard to sell back out one.. same like near to tnb station effect

Smell sure there...

Only strong or not only depends on the level of maintenance done at the plant...
