The animal was located in the vicinity of Fox Hill Road and tested positive for rabies on Monday, April 21, officials said.
The department urges anyone who may have come into contact with the skunk between April 2 and April 16 to see their primary care physician to determine whether there is a need for prophylaxis treatment.
Officials also remind residents to never pick up stray animals, as saliva from a rabid animal can be considered infectious.
