1.
What is the City of Claremore doing to control the filter flies at the Waste Water Treatment Plant?
We treat the filters with the maximum amount of chemicals allowed by the Department of Environmental Quality, keep the grass trimmed low and routinely clean all external fixtures. In addition to working to keep the plant clean, we have lined the fence surrounding the treatment plant with a fine mesh to keep the flies from migrating and planted a line of fast-growing Evergreen trees to serve as a buffer between the treatment plant and the nearby neighborhood.

Why does the plant sometimes smell bad?
It depends upon several factors which affect the functions of the plant. Excessive flow, draining of stormwater collection basins or episodes of toxic influent such as oil can upset the normal functions of the plant which results in odors.
