Residents of the Crabbe Road and nearby areas are asked to make their annual $30 contribution towards the cost of treating the areas for mosquitoes. Payment can be made to the Council Office (cheque to “Rural Municipality of Miltonvale Park”), cash, or e-transfer to admin@miltonvalepark.com) or to Rachel Sentner (820 Crabbe Rd). The municipality pays for black fly control in the Crabbe Road and Loyalist Road areas, but does not cover the cost of mosquito control in the Crabbe Road area for residents. Thanks for your cooperation!
