Environmental Health helps to protect the health of the citizens of Monongalia County by regulating the food, water, land, public spaces and businesses of Monongalia County.
If you’ve eaten in a restaurant or gotten take-out, gone swimming in a pool, stayed in a hotel, attended school, gotten a tattoo or body piercing or eaten a hamburger at a fair or a football game, MCHD Environmental Health sanitarians have conducted an inspection of the facility as we continue to keep our community safe.
