Environmental Health responds to Public Health Nuisance complaints and works with other County departments in resolving ordinance violations.

Environmental Health is committed to the protection of ground water. We permit and inspect new well construction, sealing of abandoned wells, and the installation of individual on-site sewage treatment systems.
