Mosquito Season Has Arrived!
The Bristol County Mosquito Control Project has notified us regarding the aerial applications for 2018, (actual start time will be announced at a later date) which will be between the hours of 4:00am and 9:00pm as conditions permit.
Applications will be conducted over specific large wetlands in the Town in order to reduce the number of mosquito larvae.
