§ 28-11. Mosquito control.  


Latest version.
  • It shall be unlawful to have, keep, maintain, cause, permit or allow within the limits of the town any collection or accumulation of standing, moving or flowing water in which mosquitoes breed or are likely to breed unless such collection or accumulation is lawfully treated or maintained so as to effectively prevent such breeding. The presence of mosquito larvae in any such water shall be prima facie evidence of such breeding. However, no offense shall be deemed committed under this section unless at least 24 hours' notice of the existence of the violation shall have been effectively communicated to the owner or the person in actual or constructive possession or control of or in charge of the real property in question by an official of the town or by a county or state health department official.
