Low-Flow Toilets Cause a Stink in San Francisco

Thu, 7 Feb 2013 11:38:07 EST

Skimping on toilet water by using low-flow toilets has resulted in more sludge backing up inside San Francisco’s sewer pipes, says Tyrone Jue, spokesman for the city Public Utilities Commission. This has created a rotten-egg smell in certain areas, especially during the drier summer months. The city has already invested $100 million over the past five years to upgrade its sewer system and sewage plants, in part to combat the odor problem. Now officials are stocking up on a $14 million, three-year supply (about 8.5 million pounds) of highly concentrated sodium hypochlorite (a.k.a. bleach) to counteract the odor and disinfect the city's treated water before it is dumped into the bay.
