Environmental Health conducts routine inspections and/or complaint investigations at commercial, residential and public sites throughout the County in an effort to protect the public's health. Although our food and housing inspection programs are the most recognizable, the department also monitors X-ray machines and other radiologic devices, beaches and swimming pools, small water systems, sanitary landfills, massage establishments, body art facilities, theaters, laundries, and more.
