Street Lights and Mosquito Control

STREET LIGHTS

The District pays for the operation and maintenance of all Street Lights in Spring Lake. The District collects monies for maintenance of street lights and for the electric billing payable to Progress Energy.

If you notice a Street Light is out or is not operating properly please notify the staff at the District Office so that we may send in a repair request to Progress Energy.

MOSQUITO CONTROL

The Spring Lake Improvement District maintains a Mosquito Control Program within areas of the District. We provide the following services:

Larvicide control of all storm drains within the District by using special chemical pellets.
Grassy swales and ditches are chemically sprayed for Mosquito larvae.
Truck equipped with "Micro Gen" generates a fog of spray that drifts across the roads and properties that the truck travels through. The fog kills adult mosquito's on contact, or within a short period of time.
The District sprays for Mosquitoes at dusk when they are most active.
Money is collected for this program through taxation of all taxable properties within the District and a charge to local residents on their monthly water bill.
Pursuant to state law there can be no set schedule for mosquito spraying due to the chemicals used; it is a complaint driven service. Call the District office at 655-1715 to request mosquito spraying for your area.
