The City of Twin Falls continues to work to identify, control and reduce offensive odors in the community. As an agricultural community, Twin Falls can experience a range of odor concerns from several sources, making resident reports an important part of the city’s response efforts.
The City encourages residents who notice persistent or unusual odors to submit a report at TFID.ORG by selecting the Odor Reporting Tool. Reports help City staff identify odor patterns, narrow down potential sources and focus inspection, maintenance and mitigation efforts where they are needed most.
The City’s odor-report data show a substantial decline in reports in recent years. In 2024, the City received 308 odor reports. That number declined to 62 reports in 2025, with 19 reports received so far in 2026.
The decline in reported odors correlates with the City’s ongoing work to locate concerns and install odor-control scrubbers in targeted areas. These systems are designed to help capture and treat odor-causing compounds before they affect nearby neighborhoods.
Residents are encouraged to include as much information as possible when submitting an odor report, including the location, time of day, type of odor and how long it lasted. Even reports of short-term odors can help establish patterns and improve the City’s ability to respond.
