Spencer, IA (KICD)– The City of Spencer is continuing its battle to resolve a smell issue on the west side of the community.

Planning Director Adam Severson brought some good news to the city council in his monthly report noting the number of complaints against the Symrise egg processing facility, while still existent, appear to be falling.

Despite the decrease in complaints, City Attorney Don Hemphill noted additional infractions have been filed in court per the request of elected officials.

Symrise is continuing to work on long-term fixes for the issue that has been addressed for nearly a year with the current phase expected to be completed this week.
