Environmental Health

The Environmental Health Division's mission is to identify and correct environmental conditions that may cause disease or disease outbreaks. It does so 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 regulatory compliance and promote best practices. Our sanitarians evaluate potential environmental risks and provide consulting services 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.
