Water Purification District capital plan
North Albany and Menands residents have been dealing with odors tied to a failed sludge mixing system at the North plant. The long-term fix — a new large-bubble mixing system — is targeted for 2027, with the broader incinerator and dewatering upgrades running through early 2029. Officials announced a new odor-control study starting within weeks and said a chemical pilot failed last year, leaving limited short-term options.
