      The Health Department responds anytime, day or night, weekends and holidays, to potential threats to public health. Call the Health Department immediately if you become ill with cramps and diarrhea within a few hours of eating, especially if friends or family who ate at the same restaurant or family function become ill, too. Other circumstances that should be reported immediately include animal bites, water pollution, municipal sewage overflow, and large hazardous materials spills (i.e. leaking oil drum or gasoline tank). Anyone having a reaction to immunizations or drug treatments received at the Health Department should call without delay.

To reach the Health Department during non-business hours, call 451-6700.
An operator will take your call.
If it is an emergency, a Health Department professional will call you back.
