Environmental Health

We license, regulate, and establish retail food, hotels/motels, bed & breakfasts, public swimming pools, campgrounds, and body art establishments in Washington and Ozaukee County. Environmental Health Specialists are also responsible for sampling and inspecting small public drinking water systems, swimming beach monitoring, and providing radon information and test kits for residents.

Our department will NOT contact facilities via email or phone to initiate licensing enforcement. Any requests to act quickly and disclose information is fraudulent.

Animal Bites and Rabies

Although animal bites are not officially notifiable by state statute, they carry a risk of infection with various disease agents. Contact your healthcare provider regarding possible need for treatment. The biting animal should also be captured if it is safe to do so because of the possibility of rabies virus transmission.

We monitor the level of E.coli in the water at local beaches at a frequency determined by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. For more information, click HERE.
