Diddams said residents should report to the department any area they think is a potential problem. The staff also can answer questions about treatment of "foul" water.

Water should be treated about every 10 days, depending on rainfall, until tires, rain gutters, low places in lawns and back waters of streams or creeks. The county health department is depending on individual homeowners and tenants to control breeding places on their property. In addition. Diddams said, it is critical that breeding areas be located, treated or reported as quickly as possible.

Areas to watch, he said, include: depressions near railroad tracks where grain has spilled into standing water; culverts where water could stand rather than drain away; sides of roads and streets with no curbing; overflow areas from dams and spillways; water in Not only have the dry, hot days just past been uncomfortable for Central Illinois residents, but they also have provided the groundwork for an uncomfortable August of ducking mosquitoes.
