I know you are just going by what was said on the radio, but I'm not sure what the city defines as "spraying" would register with any of us from out east. Back in Winnipeg we would have warnings about when our area was due to be sprayed, and to not go outside for 30 minutes. Or if they were spraying from a plane they would warn the entire city.
I think Calgary's definition of spraying is that the have 2 guys in 1 truck, and the odd bit of standing water on city property gets sprayed.
Here in Copperfield (and other areas too I'm sure) we have stormwater ponds. In an effort to make them more natural, there is no water flow on them; which makes them ideal breeding grounds. I don't see the harm in adding a fountain to make it so mosquitoes can't lay eggs.
