General Environmental Health

The Environmental Health Division is responsible for many aspects of public health in both Wichita Falls and Wichita County. Routine inspections are conducted quarterly on hotels, motels, and non-profit organizations that serve food such as Emergency Rooms, Ambulance Services, and Senior Citizens Centers. Public swimming pools, and hot tubs as well as tattoo parlors are inspected monthly. All schools, public and private, are inspected annually while the kitchens are inspected twice yearly. Those schools with summer lunch programs receive an additional inspection. Foster homes and day care facilities are inspected at the request of the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services.
