Sanilac County Health Department

The Environmental Health Division is responsible for protecting the pubic health and the health of the environment. This is accomplished by implementing state mandated programs (Water Supply, On-Site Sewage, and Food Service) and also performing non-mandated services for the local community. Programs involve overseeing the permitting and construction of on-site sewage treatment/disposal systems and remediation of failed systems, issuing well permits and overseeing well construction and water quality testing for private water supplies, complaint investigations, radon tests, water testing, mortgage evaluations and beach monitoring.
