Mosquito Control Awareness Week

June 20-26 

One infected-mosquito bite can cause West Nile virus which can lead to meningitis or death. Fight the bite by applying insect repellent containing at least 15% of one of these ingredients:  

• DEET 
• Picaridin 
• IR3535
• Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus 

If a mosquito tests positive, the City will spray but notify those in the spray area first. To be notified, sign up for City Call alerts. 

Learn how the City of Plano helps control mosquitoes.

Googling "Plano Water Bill" Could Cost You  

Before you Google search “pay Plano water bill,” be aware that the links popping to the top may not be the true City of Plano payment portal. Residents have paid large fees ($4-$8) through misleading non-City sites.  

On the City of Plano site, you are never charged a convenience fee to pay your water bill online. Always look twice before you pay through any online site.
