Unpleasant odors around the Edgartown sewage treatment plant in recent weeks have drawn complaints from neighbors, and the issue landed in front of the Edgartown selectmen on Monday.

Bert Jamgochian, an abutter to the treatment plant, told the selectmen the odor was so strong it made him sick one night after dinner. He also questioned how wastewater facilities manager Joe Alosso could have two full-time jobs in both Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, but selectmen were more concerned with resolving the odor issue. Mr. Jamgochian raised his concerns at a meeting with the wastewater commission earlier in the afternoon on Monday. Wastewater chairman Tim Connelly said the odors were tracked to a problem with the pH levels at the plant; he also said heavy humidity and wind direction caused odors to be stronger than normal.

Mr. Connelly said the problem has been corrected, and he urged Mr. Jamgochian to call the commission immediately if it happens again.

Mr. Jamgochian pushed his point about Mr. Alosso’s job descriptions, but selectman Michael Donaroma said the board would look into that issue separately.

“The commission says there’s been an odor, it’s something they’ve said they worked on and corrected it and explained how it went from an odor to no odor the next day, they know what they did,” Mr. Donaroma said. “Nobody is trying to sweep anything under the rug here.”

Town health agent Matt Poole said it was part of his job to respond to the complaints, and he asked for a system to be set up to notify the board of health in the event of a problem. Mr. Poole said he would send a letter to the neighborhood with a list of numbers to call to report a problem.

In other business town administrator Pamela Dolby said the food truck Irie Bites, which parks at Nectar’s at the airport, has been staying open past the required closing time of 1 a.m. which is stipulated in the Nectar’s liquor license. Mrs. Dolby said the liquor license includes the parking area where the truck is parked.

“They’ve had loud music and the party continues in the parking lot,” Mrs. Dolby said. “Technically Nectar’s is in violation of the liquor license as part of being on the license premises.”

Mrs. Dolby said building inspector Leonard Jason is looking into the matter.

She also said there is still money available through the Cape Light Compact energy cooperative for Island residents looking for credits toward energy efficient appliances, light bulbs and house audits. Anyone interested is encouraged to contact the selectmen’s office.
