PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORY:

WEST NILE VIRUS

     We have been notified by the County Mosquito Control Division today that one of their surveillance traps in Mendham Township contained mosquitoes which tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV). The location of the positive mosquito pool was identified as the area behind the Ralston Fire House. This is not uncommon during this time of year.
