The goal of the Environmental Health Section is to ensure the health and well-being of the citizens and visitors to Mineral 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, and Rabies), child care facilities, schools, mobile home parks, recreational facilities, institutions, recreational water facilities, lodging facilities, care facilities, and body piercing/tattoo studios.

    Other services we provide are investigation of complaints where public health laws may have been violated, water samples, and technical assistance to developers and realtors.  We also conduct educational programs for food service workers and individual sewage system installers and contractors.

    For any applications, forms, or regulations refer to the Environmental Forms or Regulations page.  If you have any questions please email us or call (304)788-1321.
