Board roundup: enforcement updates continued; vouchers signed; virus and food‑safety notices
Summary
At its June 23 meeting the Acushnet Board of Health continued enforcement orders for 12 Carol and 23 Frank Street, signed vouchers and permits, noted an out‑of‑state E. coli raw cheese outbreak, and urged caution after mosquito traps detected virus near the Acushnet River.
The Acushnet Board of Health handled several routine and enforcement items at its June 23 meeting.
The board placed correspondence and community nurse/home care statistics on file. Enforcement order updates for 12 Carol Street and 23 Frank Street were continued so staff and responsible parties may provide stronger plans or cost estimates; the board voted to keep both items on the next agenda.
Staff notified the board of an out‑of‑state E. coli outbreak tied to Raw Farm LLC raw cheese products (reported in Florida, California and Texas) and said no Massachusetts cases were identified. Staff also reported that recent mosquito trap testing found traces of virus near the Acushnet River and reminded residents to use repellant and protective clothing.
The board voted to sign vouchers and permits and discussed scheduling the July meeting. A motion to adjourn carried, ending the session.
