About Environmental Health

The goal of the Environmental Health Section is to ensure the health and well-being of the citizens and visitors to Taylor County, WV. We hope to accomplish this by educating the public, offering services, and by enforcing public health laws through the various permitted programs we offer and inspect. These programs include food sanitation, individual on-site sewage and water supplies, epidemiological surveillance (West Nile Virus, La Cross Encephalitis), child care facilities, schools, manufactured home communities, recreational facilities, institutions, lodging facilities, care facilities, and body piercing/tattoo studios.
