What We Do

Environmental Health is responsible for the protection of air, water and all other factors that may adversely affect the quality lifestyle we enjoy in Summit County. In addition, the Environmental Division monitors and protects all water sources that flow through Summit County to neighboring counties for drinking water, irrigation and many other daily needs.

As one of the fastest-growing communities in the state of Utah, Summit County Health Department finds our staff developing new programs in an effort to maintain the standards previously set.

New fees beginning January 10, 2024
