  • Yep. Since I posted yesterday neighbours have smelt it slightly further away (e.g. Low Hall Lane/down Coppermill near the waterworks).

    It was strong when I woke up at 3am but you can only smell it a bit now, but it's windy. I think Thames need to send some people out with sewer gas sensors who actually know what they're doing, not some blokes in a van who lift a manhole then say it's fine!

    Googling/lack of responses on here suggests to me it's a pretty rare thing in the UK.

  • Could it not just be the big sewage works nearby? I thought that must give off some farts on hot days.

  • It's not a sewage works it's a water treatment plant! No way I'd buy a house next to a sewage works, there is one not too far from us and the streets near it regularly smell of shit.
