It would be interesting to hear the background story on this happening so suddenly.
------
It is right there, in the article...

"Since the announcement of the outbreak in late October, health officials have specifically named old tires as one of the leading culprits behind the spread of the mosquito-borne disease. When left outdoors, they collect rainwater and provide perfect places for the little bloodsuckers to breed.
When Hookena and Honaunau were first identified as likely areas where the disease has been transmitted between humans and mosquitoes, the county began accepting tires free of charge at the three nearby transfer stations."

Seems like common sense took over at the County.
