Rotten egg smell: Guide to diagnosing the cause of sulphur smells, sewer gas smells, rotten egg odors in buildings


p.s.
When we lived in Satellite Beach Florida in 1972, there always was a smell of sulphur when the underground sprinklers would go on.
It was the water. Horrible odor.

We did not notice anything like that at all in THE VILLAGES.
The home we rented for a month had the sprinklers and the water had no odor at all.

Site conditions or weather factors causing sewer gas or septic odors
I know there are no septic tanks in THE VILLAGES, but could it be coming from an adjacent town, carried by the wind??
Keep scrolling down on this link to read about "weather conditions"

The odor was so bad last week that while playing golf, I has to hold a towel over my face. The guys at the starter shack said the smell was from fertilizer. In a way I agree, but in my opinion the product being used was what we called sludge. Sludge is the solid wasts from the sewer treatment plants, it is spread onto a flat surface of land and allowed to dry. I recall people in out small Illinois town lining up with their pickup trucks for a load of the dried sludge which they would use as fertilizer.
