Environmental Health

The Environmental Health Division, in an effort to ensure a healthy and safe community, administers a myriad of Public Health programs mandated by Ohio Law.  The division acts as an approved agent of the State and performs the duties locally for Clinton County.  

Environmental health consists of two divisons- the household sewage treatment, private water systems, and solid waste programs are designed to protect the surface and groundwater of Clinton County and environmental health programs such as food service operations, public pools and spas, manufactured home parks, RV parks, and others are regulated to ensure the basic health, safety, and sanitation of the establishments for the citizens of the county.  Through these programs, the Health Department promotes continuing sanitation and maintenance practices that protect the public’s health, welfare, and safety.
