Eliminating the backyard drainage problem at 6908 Oak Circle would benefit numerous residence of the city of Centerville through mosquito control. s The backyard drainage issue at 6908 Oak Circle creates a large body of stagnant water that takes weeks to fully drain, even as we are actively pumping out the water, as it refills every time it rains and remains wet for months. This creates a perfect breeding ground for Aedes vexans mosquitos. This type of mosquito is a "floodwater" mosquito that lays its eggs on moist surfaces near stagnant flood water and relies on periodic submersion for eggs to hatch into larvae (Mosquito control and stormwater management, 2023). Practices that would seem to cause mosquito breeding to proliferate would include water basins or holding areas that hold water in a stagnant condition for longer than 3 days" (Mosquito control and stormwater management, 2023). According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, controlling standing and stagnant water, and adapting design and habitat conditions are the ways Minnesotans can avoid a proliferation of mosquito breeding. 1 This species of mosquitos can carry the parasite worm that causes heart worms (Metropolitan Mosquito Control District), which results in severe 31 lung disease, heart failure, other organ damage, and death in pets (The Facts about Heartworm Disease, 2022). a Aedes vexans mosquitos can fly further than 20 miles from the hatch site (The Mosquito Life Cycle, n.d) which makes the backyard drainage problem a at 6908 Oak Circle a group project. a a 5 out of the 6 residences that share a property line with us drain into our backyard. The 3 houses that were built behind us after our house was built all drain into our backyard which is an issue that should have been addressed when the houses were being built. 2 i a ,i J: ' i' 9 '', • ?,'4 r ` R r *� t ,11� r x qer r a » 10';!i,- 441„,,f,ifiefir 4 I ,i'.%* a e 're ��%/,f•\. - I * +tt p, � .1 �; 1 '• y K ''' J ,,.,„?
