The Environmental Health Program encourages our customers and operators to continue the use of our online services for licensing, onsite wastewater and child care. Starting June 24, 2020 the use of facial covering is required while in indoor public places. We would also encourage the use of phone and mail services to obtain Vital Records documents such as birth and death certificates.

The mission of Washington County Environmental Health is to protect and promote the health of the public by providing inspection and disease prevention services in the areas of food safety (including restaurants and other public food service facilities), public pools and spas, recreation facilities, mosquito control, smoke-free workplace enforcement, onsite wastewater management and drinking water.
We strive to enhance the quality of life in our county and community by educating, performing routine inspections and investigations, taking enforcement action when warranted, and interacting with state, federal and local agencies when appropriate.
