PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE

The Town of Brownville was recently notified that a deceased bird located in Brownville had tested positive for the West Nile Virus.

 

As far as we know this is an isolated incident, but wanted to share educational information with the public to assist you. Currently, thirteen out of sixteen counties in Maine have had active cases of Mosquito-Borne Diseases.  Although these are more common in the spring of the year when the mosquitoes are more active, we need to remain vigilant throughout the year and take preventative measures to care for us, and our pets.
