With the heavy rainfall and flooding this spring we are seeing a fluctuation in many water test results. If you have a private well- spring is a good time to have it tested .
ADRC's Wheelchair Wash is scheduled for June. Help share the event through our Facebook event or this PDF flier . Please register through Make the Ride Happen at (920) 225-1719 or mrh@lsswis.org to participate. Non-reservations are welcome, but may experience a longer wait time.
Tick season is here - and with the Lyme disease reporting rate doubling in the last 10 years WI health professionals are prioritizing data and tracking of ticks across the state. Do you have suggested areas for our Environmental Health Specialists to do tick drags? We're looking for public forestry areas with heavy foot traffic. Email your suggestions to health@co.winnebago.wi.us
