9/11/26 – I received notice from the Berks County Conservation District that a mosquito sample collected in Ruscombmanor Township has tested positive for West Nile Virus.
The risk of West Nile transmission is still fairly low, but if continued virus activity is detected, it may become necessary to conduct an adult control in the affected area. Residents are encouraged to take the following precautions:
- Stay indoors during peak mosquito hours
- Dusk to Dawn
- Wear long sleeves, pants, and closed-toed shoes if possible
- Exposed skin may be at risk for biting mosquitoes
- Wear bug spray
- Specifically bug spray containing at least 30% DEET
- Remove all standing water from your property
- Birdbaths, wheelbarrows, children’s toys etc. can hold water which can breed mosquitoes.
- ANY water standing for more than 4 days can begin to breed mosquitoes

THE ROAD CREW WAS BUSY CLEANING SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE TOWNSHIP. GREAT JOB!
To all residents affected by the paving over the last weeks. The Township Supervisors would like to thank you for your cooperation during the paving efforts. We know that this can be an inconvenience, however, you were all very understanding and we wanted you to know we appreciate it. As far as painting lines, we are having difficulty with the line painting contractor at this point so as soon as we can make arrangements that will be done. Until then please execute caution when traveling those roads. – RUSCOMBMANOR TOWNSHIP SUPERVISORS
