That place smells everyday and is not going away anytime soon. If somebody thinks the smell is almost gone, they are positioned in the opposite direction from the direction of the wind. You can be on the other side of the interstate at riverbend and smell it depending on the wind. I have been over at Hawkins phase 2 and it smells.
Do you think you could get used to it? Maybe, but what happens when you have friends over, what happens when you want to sell it? You going to tell them you will get used to it? |

Villages put out a notification that they aware of the smell and are in the process of fixing it. However, there have been some delays with parts arriving timely due to the current manufacturing and logistic nightmares in the US. If I remember correctly it’s on track to be fixed by April….and it is water treatment, not sewer.

[QUOTE=Brwne;2055855]The facility between Hawkins and the Florida Turrnpike is a well water treatment facility - processing our drinking water not sewage. Both Fenney and McClure have had "smell" issues which emanated from sewage pump stations. The Villages augmented those pump stations with additional equipment and the smell is mostly gone.[/

We live in Hawkins down by the round about entrance and can’t smell it at all. I know sometimes when you drive by on Meggison, it does smell bad but like someone said, that is only about 25% of the time. I don’t think I would want to purchase right across from that thing in Hawkins but Hawkins is very large as most villages and I walk all the time through Hawkins and can’t smell a thing.

Hmmm - not wastwater treatment or holding? That begs the question - where IS our wastewater treatment site then?
That area stinks to high heaven quite often. |

Or, you might get an unexpected visitor from FCI Coleman. I bet the discussion over dinner would be stimulating.

In addition to the smell, don't downplay the turnpike noise, which is oh so close to Hawkins and all the other new Villages being developed over there, especially Deluna (Phase 2) where you can shake hands with the drivers on the pike from some of those houses being built. There are quite a few who are blinded by the fact they will be so close to Brownwood and Sawgrass Grove and then have buyer's remorse. Always ensure you do your due diligence. IMO, they may be better off looking North of 44A, or in Chitty Chatty if they are looking for a Villa with a view.

When we drive up from St. Catherine my wife says she can smell something and I barely smell anything. I have ridden my bike past it many times and have no recollection of ever smelling anything despite my huge consumption of air pushing hard on the pedals and deep breathing. No, I didn't lose my sense of smell to CV19. Maybe some are more sensitive to it.

If the tank has water levels that go up and , no smell happens when the level goes down since fresh air is drawn into the tank. When the level goes up the hydrogen sulfide is pushed out through tank vents and wafts around that area. The irrigation water itself can be smelly as stated in previous threads on why does our irrigation water stink. It is not coming from treated waste water since that is not used for residential irrigation water. |

This resident was very transparent for that she deserves an award? I being a plumber would advise you to unload this house as soon as possible that is a very bad negative, That and living within 1 mile of a major HWY which is very noisy. Anyone that buys their must do their due diligence before putting money down.
