Mysterious Odor in Cheverly

The Town takes air quality and Cheverly residents' concerns very seriously and responded immediately to morning reports of a noxious odor throughout the town.

Town Administrator Galloway has been in close communication with Washington Gas and WSSC, as well as with the local fire department. Additionally, Mayor Riazi has made contact with the Maryland Department of the Environment. The odor has been described by residents as resembling natural gas, sewer gases, and burning tires. Staff is actively trying to identify the odor and its source.  

We will continue to update community as additional information becomes available.
