Tartu Waterworks Announces Repair of Anaerobic Tank, Potential for Temporary Odor Issues

Tartu Waterworks has initiated a comprehensive repair project focused on the anaerobic tank of its primary sewage cleaner, operated by Kaido Põhako. The undertaking will temporarily shift the process of sewage sludge fermentation to open pits located within the Ringteeg area. This transition involves the manual fermentation of sewage sludge, a necessary step before the system’s anaerobic fermentation can be fully restored within its enclosed tank.

Residents of Tartu should anticipate potential odor disturbances during the repair period. The intensity and duration of any smells are expected to fluctuate based on weather conditions and other operational factors. Officials estimate that these “odor disturbances” could persist for approximately four to five months, encompassing the timeframe until the complete repair and resumption of the closed system.

The waterworks acknowledges the potential inconvenience and is monitoring the situation closely. Further updates will be provided as the repair progresses. The project aims to ensure the continued efficient and responsible management of Tartu’s sewage.
