Chattanooga may take the operator of a private sewer system along the Tennessee-Georgia border to court because of possible odor problems wafting into city streets.
“They have not been operating that system out there in an environmentally sensitive manner,” said City Attorney Mike McMahan.
The City Council is set to vote tonight on filing a lawsuit against Rainbro Inc., the operator of the sewer system at Windstone, a subdivision near the state line in East Brainerd.
Dave Hammel, owner of Rainbro, disputed those claims Monday, saying he followed the city’s advice to control odor and does not know who is complaining.
“I’ve done all I know how to do,” Hammel said.
