Mosquito sites test positive for West Nile Virus
Tarrant County Public Health notified the City of Colleyville
of positive test results for West Nile Virus. These samples
were collected in the vicinity of the 4100 block of
Windermere Court and the 3700 block of Briarhaven Lane.
This is the second positive sample collected near the 4100
block of Windermere Court, which elevates Colleyville to a
medium risk level, as outlined in the City's Integrated
Mosquito Manage Plan. Crews will conduct localized
adulticide fogging within a quarter-mile of the Winderemere
Court sample Friday evening, weather permitting. Both
positive sample sites were be treated with larvacide.
The City encourages the community to follow mosquito
