HEALTH AND SANITATION
The sanitary condition of all housing is subject to control by health authorities. While the State Department of
Public Health controls statewide enforcement of health measures, the local health officer actually enforces state
and local health laws and uses the Department of Public Health as an advisory agency.
Proper drainage, sewage disposal, and water supply are crucial health and sanitation considerations. The local
health officer may stop a development if there are problems in these areas.
