Stop The Stink (Lehigh Acres, FL) -- A bad odor coming from a waste water treatment plant is bothering some people in Lehigh Acres. Today those people marched in protest outside the plant chanting "stop the stink." Robert Anderson, the president of the Lehigh Watchdogs, lead the protest. Anderson says the plant is 34% over capacity causing it to create a nasty smell. Fox Four took this to Barbara Kerby the Florida Governmental Utility Authority. Kerby says they're not over capacity and will look to improve the plant by Fall 2006. The Department of Environmental Protection investigated the smell. DEP officials say backups will happen from time to time.
