Tooele Valley neighbors say they're fed up with a mosquito problem, and they can't get any relief.
Tooele City isn't part of the mosquito abatement district, and neighbors who say they're getting bit by the decision hope the city will reconsider joining.
"We've got a public health hazard. It's not just a nuisance, it's a hazard," Cox said. "And it's one with West Nile virus and other diseases going around that affect the animals as well as the people."They aren't the only ones frustrated. Scott Bradshaw, district manager of the Tooele Valley Mosquito Abatement District, explained that he's been getting calls from city residents for help.
Tooele City Mayor Debbie Winn told KSL-TV in an email that the City Council decided not to join the abatement district because of the high additional costs to residents. At that meeting, Bradshaw gave information about the abatement district, and council members asked questions about treating mosquitoes in the city."Instead, we treat all the ponds at both of the golf courses located in Tooele City limits. These are the only large bodies of water in our city," Winn wrote, in her email to KSL-TV. "This has worked out well.
