PLEASE HELP!!

My husband and I just got online and saw all these postings about the smell coming from the water reclamation facility. We are supposed to close on our house tomorrow, and are very nervous and thinking about backing out due to all these comments. Please let me know if that horrible smell is still coming from the plant, and if they have done any work to fix that problem. Cottonwood looks like a lovely community, especially with that beautiful park right there, but it would not be worth it if it smells awful. Please help ASAP, as we are going tomorrow to sign for the house.

 Thank you so much, for any information you could give us!!

The former Mayor of Parker responded this post earlier, he is no longer the mayor for Parker. He was however wrong with his comments which is why I am replying to this rather outdated post. The town of Parker has ordinances against foul smells coming from properties and the town of Parker is required to enforce this law even against Parker Water and Sanitation. You can and should complain often to the Code Enforcement department of the Parker Police Department. See below:

 

6.01.300 - Offensive or unhealthy uses.
 
 

(a)

No building, vehicle, structure, receptacle or other thing used or to be used, for any purpose whatsoever, shall be used, made, kept, maintained or operated in or retained within the Town, if the use, keeping, maintaining or operation of the same shall be the occasion of any nuisance or danger or detriment to the public health.

(b)

Every other act or thing done or made, committed or allowed or continued on any public or private property or place by any person, which is detrimental to health, offensive to sight, smell or hearing or causes damage or injury to any of the inhabitants of the Town, and not otherwise specified in this Chapter, shall be deemed a nuisance.

(Ord. 5.68 §1, 2008)
