The Fogger goes North!

Patricia Verde, Administrator for San Pedro Town Council, announced just before noon, Thursday, 11 August 2005, that, weather and road conditions allowing, the San Pedro Town fogger will make trips north of Boca del Rio twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays.
The first spray is expected Friday, 12 August.
At this time the SPTC will be using their big sprayer as the two smaller fogging machines are still in the Corozal machine shop.
This generous action is greatly appreciated, not only by residents and visitors to the North Ambergris Caye area, but by all the construction and resort employees who work north of the river.
Thank You!!
