"Green Pool" Help Line in Pinal County Arizona

It's summer in Arizona and that means degrees in the triple digits. If a swimming pool is neglected or abandoned the high heat can also mean these abandoned swimming pools may become a breeding spot for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are capable of carrying and transmitting West Nile Virus and other diseases that mosquitoes can carry. The current real estate market has an increased number of foreclosed properties. There are also homes not foreclosed but where owners are having tough financial times and who are just letting their pools go unmaintaned. The result is "green pool" and a potentially dangerous health hazard.

The Pinal County Arizona Division of Environmental Health urges residents throughout Pinal County to report any pools they are aware of that are not maintained and are thereby are creating a health hazard. If a person is aware of such a circumstance they can make a call anonymously, if they do not choose to leave their name. Information needed is the street address of the home where the problem exists. The Mosquito hotline for Pinal County is 520-855-6200. For more information you can check on line at http://pinalcountyaz.gov/
