"A new scientific study presented at this month’s meeting of the Ecological Society of America reaches the scary conclusion that mosquitoes carriers of the West Nile Virus and other diseases thrive in waterways contaminated by sewage. As if we needed even more public health reasons to clean up and prevent sewage pollution.
Sadly, untreated sewage pollution still flows regularly into many of New England’s rivers and streams as a result of sewage spills from aging or improperly maintained sewage collection and pumping systems."http://www.clf.org/blog/?p=160

So, maybe, things are not so simple, and bug spray and filling in wetlands isn't the only answer. Responsibly dealing with waste water saves lives.
