The Environmental Health Division of South Central Public Health District works closely with other state and local agencies to ensure safe drinking water, safe food, and healthful environments in the communities in which we live.
Environmental Health Specialists are assigned to each of the eight Magic Valley Counties. These trained individuals issue permits, conduct plan reviews, and make environmental assessments for a variety of programs including food safety, child care, swimming pools, subsurface sewage disposal systems, drinking water and land development. Our staff carries out important educational and preventative functions, as well as the regulatory functions, by conducting classes for food service workers, pool operators, sewage system installers and providing additional information by request.
