Environmental Health

The mission of the Environmental Health Division is to identify and correct conditions in the environment that may cause disease or disease outbreaks. This is accomplished through inspections, education and outreach, collaboration, and enforcement.

The Environmental Health Division works closely with residents, businesses, and other state and local agencies to ensure compliance with regulations and promote best practices. Our sanitarians evaluate and investigate potential environmental risks and provide consultation to facilities in McLennan County. The Division also collaborates regularly with the Texas Department of State Health Services, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (Child Care Regulatory Services Division), and local Code Enforcement and Inspections Departments across McLennan County.
