Officials said the smell is not coming from wastewater lines, but from "specific industries" in and near the city.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho — The City of Twin Falls acknowledges residents' concerns about the "strong odors" plaguing the city and is trying to find the cause.

"We value the well-being of our residents and are dedicated to maintaining a high quality of life in Twin Falls," said Nathan Erickson, environmental manager for the City of Twin Falls. "We appreciate the community's patience and cooperation as we work to address this issue promptly and effectively."

The City of Twin Falls is asking members of the public who experience a strong smell to submit an odor report, as this will help officials better understand where it's coming from.
