There’s something in the air in Kindersley and residents want the town to deal with it.

Some in the community, located about two hours southwest of Saskatoon, say the smell of the sewage lagoon on the outskirts of town is overwhelming.

 “Even though you have all your windows closed and the doors closed, it’s still coming in; seeping in,” June Nargang, told CTV News.

Nargang has lived in the area most of her life, but this year is different.

“You could taste it and smell it and the whole lane is gray,“ she says.

She says the stench is impacting her lung condition.

“It was so strong that my COPD, I couldn’t actually breathe and at night, for three nights, I was afraid to go to sleep. That’s how bad it was.”
