Influenza Update:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), influenza vaccination is the first and most important step in protecting against the flu. Anyone who wants to be protected against the flu should consult their own health-care provider to receive the vaccine. 

Mass Dispensing Area 36 (MDA 36): City of Middletown, towns of Cromwell, Durham, Haddam, Middlefield, will not be offering any flu clinics at this time.  If you have any questions regarding H1N1 or seasonal influenza, please call (860) 344-3482.

Soil Test Application
The Durham Department of Health is accepting applications for soil tests to determine the suitability of lots to accommodate subsurface sewage disposal systems.  The soil tests, which are comprised of deep test pits and percolation tests, will be conducted between March 15 and March 29, between April 14 and May 31, 2011 and between October 3 and December 9, 2011.  Applications for the Spring testing should be submitted by April 23.  Applications for the Autumn testing should be submitted by December 2.  Testing conducted in the Autumn of 2011 in areas where high groundwater can be expected may require monitoring of the groundwater level during the next wet season, February 1 to May 31, 2012.
Investigation of failing septic systems and soil tests necessary for the repair and replacement of existing systems are conducted throughout the year.  Similarly, testing for designation of reserve areas in conjunction with proposed additions to houses and construction of accessory structures are conducted during most of the year.  Applications are available from the Health Department located on the second floor of the Town Hall.  To have an application mailed or faxed, please call 860-349-8253
