Public Water Supply Protection

Public Water Safety

The Environmental Health Division helps ensure that public water systems are designed and constructed to protect neighborhoods and county water resources.

The Health Department conducts surveillance sampling of:

  • Community water systems, including systems serving cities, villages and mobile home parks
  • Non-community water systems, including systems serving restaurants and hotels

These efforts help minimize potential hazards and ensure that drinking water remains safe. The Department also conducts well inspections for property transfers and issues permits for new drilled-well construction.
