Report Violation

Are you sure you want to report the following content as a violation?
ABC23, thanks for the thoughtful post and information. Your mention of the slumping real estate market is dead on the money (no West Nile pun intended). There have been quite a few articles in a variety of papers on abandoned swimming pools in the backyards of vacant unsold homes as breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and the growing threat they pose. It might be a prudent proposal here in Bakersfield to demand from property owners of unsold/vacant homes with swimming pools to require them to be drained. There are simply not enough abatement officers (what a shock) to check and treat all the stagnant pools in residential areas.
