In south Denver, the High Line Canal is morphing from an outdated piece of water delivery infrastructure to a recreational and environmental asset with the ability to filter contaminants out of stormwater.
Denver Department of Public Health and Environment officials visited the High Line Canal and surrounding areas last week and confirmed heightened mosquito and larval activity, department spokeswoman Amber Campbell said. As of Tuesday, city crews were still investigating and applying anti-larval treatments in several places.
“We have actually seen lighter mosquito seasons over the last few years,” Campbell said. “This year, we had a very dry spring, and the summer heat came quickly and stayed hot. Rain doesn’t necessarily mean a more active mosquito season across the board. Sometimes we will see increased activity in some places, but less in others.”
“The treatment takes effect within 24-48 hours and lasts for 30 days. We will continue to monitor the situation and apply more briquets as needed,” Hartman said Monday.
