West Davisville asphalt odor complaints

Summary

Residents have endured asphalt plant odors for far too long, and the council is running out of patience. Bitumar says its odor-control equipment will be running by the end of October, and DEM will evaluate whether it actually works. The town is exploring 'aggressive' legal options and a second asphalt company, Meosi, has now been cited too.
