Apologies if not in right section but didn’t know where to put this

landlord had a new sewage treatment plant fitted at our property a month ago and it wasn’t wired in properly for a month after being fitted,it serves two houses.
since it was wired up last week the smell is unbearable and we cannot sit in our garden,the smell is coming back up out of the manholes of which one is located right by our kitchen window,I presume this is not normal but is it being caused by the fan or whatever it is not working from the start or is something else wrong?

Have you got a soil vent pipe fitted, usually above the roof line?

i would mention it now but say you think it may settle in a week or two.
kitchen man hole should be air tight

We have an air pump tank like the op it was installed but wasn’t turned on at the fuse box for a few weeks and we to had a horrible smell from the tank I took off the lid and found the manifold that the air bubbles out of was floating just below the water surface and not at the bottom of the tank where it should be tied a plastic bottle full of water to it to weigh it down and since then been no problem
 

Have you taken any land out of production from last autumn?

Petition: Temporary Ban on agricultural use of sewage cake

In order to protect our land, we’re seeking a temporary ban of the agricultural use of sewage cake until better testing and treatment of waste can be proven. We call on all farmers after this harvest to refuse to accept any more until things change.

Some research suggests that the contamination of land is far more serious than just heavy metal build ups. There is an increasing amount of micro plastics and forever chemicals appearing in sewage cake. We think testing for these when it leaves the processing plants isn’t adequate, and that processing needs to adapt to be able to remove these contaminants.
