Have you ever wondered who posts the grades for restaurants? Or who checks the community pool’s chlorine level? Who verifies your private well and septic system get installed correctly? How about who makes sure your tattoo artist has bloodborne pathogen training? Or who verifies hazardous materials get properly handled? These public health and safety concerns are regulated by the Department of Environmental Health. We are Environmental Health Specialists and are dedicated to protecting the people and environment of Riverside County.
Check out our department brochure or contact an area office with any further questions regarding the department.
