Does the county spray for mosquitoes?

Elmore County does not spray for mosquitoes. Because cities are smaller and more populated, some of the municipalities in the county do have a mosquito-spraying program. The best way to fight mosquitoes is to prevent them from multiplying. Eliminating all sources of standing water around your home where mosquitoes breed will help prevent their spread.
Does the County install driveway pipe or turnouts off a county road?

The Elmore County Public Works Department approves access points for residential and commercial owners to connect or tie in to a county road.

Developments containing multiple lots should refer to the Elmore County Access Management Policy and Elmore County Subdivision & Land Development Regulations.
