A foul aroma from a wastewater-holding basin in Moberly was thought to be due to animal fat and drought from a meat-processing facility. People began complaining about the odor in April, and the city received the first odor violation notice from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources on Nov. 15 and was told to submit a plan to control the odor by Dec. 29. The city received a second warning the first week of January 2024. Efforts were underway to address the problem.
