  • Restaurants/retail food establishments
  • Lodging establishments
  • Public swimming pools
  • Campgrounds
  • Recreational education camps

The purpose of the Environmental Health programs in Waushara, Green Lake and Marquette Counties is to promote and protect the health and safety of residents and visitors.  In addition to agent licensing and inspection activities, environmental health staff investigate outbreaks of food and water-related communicable diseases, resolve public health nuisances and human health hazard complaints, investigate unfit housing and infestations, provide lead risk assessments and investigations of homes with at-risk children, and follow-up on animal bite cases for the rabies control program.  Environmental health staff also provide education and information regarding environmental health concerns including drinking water quality, indoor radon, and vector-related diseases such as Lyme and West Nile Virus.
