West Nile Virus Meeting This Thursday!

A letter from Ruben Olmos (City Manager's Office):

September 14, 2015

Dear Residents:

As you are aware, the City of Fort Worth has had a number of mosquitoes testing positive for West Nile Virus as reported to us by Tarrant County Public Health.

We’d like you to be aware the testing site in your neighborhood is Fire Station 19, 2613 Carnation Ave, Fort Worth, 76111.  This site has had multiple mosquito-positive tests.  As a result, the city may decide to target ground spray in your neighborhood.

A neighborhood meeting is scheduled to address any questions you may have regarding spraying:

Thursday, September 17, 6:30 pm
Riverside Community Center
3700 E. Belknap Street 76111

We’re asking all residents to remain vigilant in your efforts to reduce exposure and take action in reducing or eliminating mosquito breeding sites on your property.  To learn more about what you can do to lower your risk of exposure visit fortworthtexas.gov/mosquitoes.

Thank you again for your continued support.
