PROCESS FOR WALTHAM RESIDENTS TO EXCLUDE THEIR PROPERTY FROM MOSQUITO CONTROL SPRAYING

Waltham residents who would like to exclude their property from mosquito control spraying next summer should send a certified letter to the Waltham City Clerk by March 1, 2005. The letter should include your name, address, the names of all abutters and the spray program for which the exclusion is requested. In addition the boundaries of the property must be marked every 50 feet by pie plates or other appropriate means. The type of markings should be stated in the certified letter.
