PREVENTION OF MOSQUITO BREEDING
Public Co-operation Needed
The Urban Services Department today called on the public to
help prevent mosquitoes from breeding during the coming rainy season.
A department spokesman said that this could be done if householders
made sure that no discarded tins, jars and water tanks were left uncovered.
"All unused articles capable of retaining rain water should be
removed from open spaces or turned upside down and all drain inlets should
be cleared of refuse to prevent them from choking" he said.
The spokesman reminded householders that the maximum penalty for
allowing mosquitoes to breed on their property was $2,000.
"It is only through the co-operation of the public that nuisances
of this type can be prevented," he added.
