Spencer, IA (KICD)– The company responsible for fixing an odor issue on the west side of Spencer is asking for more time to make the needed corrections.

Brandon Brown, the Maintenance and Environmental Manager for Symrise, came to the City Council on Monday asking for an extension to get a cover over the tank believed to be causing the smell at the egg processing facility because of a delay in being able to get needed materials.

Once the cover is delivered to the Spencer site, Brown says installation should be completed within a few days.

The cover that is leading to the delay was originally supposed to be produced in Oklahoma but Brown says some wires got crossed by the manufacturer which led to it being made in Spain which is why it is now stuck in the process of going through Customs.
