The Cuyahoga County Board of Health mosquito surveillance program has begun. It involves identifying mosquito-breeding sites for elimination or treatment, particularly those located near susceptible human populations, risk assessment and planning. Initial activities will involve trapping, larviciding, and determining population densities of local mosquitoes. Remember to eliminate standing water sources and keep grass, weeds and landscaped areas maintained. You can obtain information by directly contacting the Board of Health at 216-201-2001 or online at

Building a deck? Planting a tree? Installing a mailbox? 811 is the new number you should call before you begin any digging project. A new, federally mandated national “Call Before You Dig” number, 811, was created to help protect you from unintentionally hitting underground utility lines while working on digging projects. People digging often make risky assumptions about whether or not they should get their utility lines marked due to concerns about project delays, costs and previous calls about other projects. These assumptions can be life threatening. Every digging job requires a call-even small projects like planting trees or shrubs. If you hit an underground utility line while digging, you can harm yourself or those around you, disrupt service to an entire neighborhood, potentially is responsible for fines and repair costs. Smart digging means calling 811 before each job. Whether you are a homeowner or a professional excavator, one call to 811 gets your underground utility lines marked for FREE. Don’t assume you know what’s below. Protect yourself and those around you – Call 811 every time.
