Environmental Health Services

The Environmental Health Division provides services designed to assure a safe and healthy environment to all county residents. We are an aspect of public health that focuses on the relationship between the environment and human health, and minimizes the public’s exposure to environmental hazards.

We have professional staff Sanitarians that are specialized in specific program areas such as wells, septic systems, food and vending inspections, site reviews, and permit issuances. We also provide enforcement of Michigan’s Smoke Free Law and investigation of complaints regarding restaurants and bars.
