Environmental Health Division
The Environmental Health Services division directs a variety of programs that educate our community about and prevent exposure to and/or protect the public from adverse effects of potentially harmful elements in our environment.

Environmental specialists called sanitarians ensure that local and state standards are met by restaurants and other food establishments, residential sewage systems, residential and commercial plumbing installations, solid waste landfills, swimming pools and parks.
