As the snowy and cooler weather approaches so does the threat of the flu virus. That is why Madison County is offering a number of Influenza vaccine clinics in the month of October.

A boil water advisory is in effect for the Village of Wampsville.

Officials in one New York region are worried about mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.

Another case of "Triple E," or Eastern Equine Encephalitis, has now been confirmed in New York.

The beaches along Cazenovia Lake in Madison County are now open.

Blue-green algae was found at 2 local beaches resulting in their closure until further notice. Swimming, wading and water contact activities are not permitted at these beaches until visual verification and water samples confirm toxin levels are below a level of concern.

It is the first time, officials say, since 2005 that Madison County has conducted aerial spraying for mosquitoes in the area.

Aerial spraying will be conducted tonight in the Town of Sullivan to combat  the spread of a mosquito-related disease.

Get your flu shot.
