Mr. Szyska updated the Board on District operations. The lab is still finding WNV infected mosquitoes. The 7-10” of rain received last weekend plus the rain on the 8^th is going to cause a floodwater mosquito hatch. Crews are finding larvae. Some mosquitoes will go into diapause but between the WNV infected mosquitoes and the rain the District will probably have to adulticide if the weather allows.
