Wastewater Program With the growing population in Webster County, the risk of water contamination by human waste is greatly increasing. Health Unit inspectors issue permits for onsite wastewater systems and provide inspections to ensure that reported systems meet requirements for depth and setback distance from wells, waterways and property lines to decrease the chances for discharge into drinking water sources. Staff also respond to complaints about illegal installations, violations and failing systems.

Well Water Collection
 You can reduce your risk for developing waterborne illnesses by testing your private well at least once a year, and more often if you notice a change in color, smell or taste. The Health Unit offers water sample test kits at no charge to residents who wish to have their well water tested. |
Other Programs and Services Child Care Inspections:
The Health Unit conducts annual sanitation inspections of state-licensed child care facilities in Webster County. Staff also follow up on any sanitation complaints regarding these facilities.
