DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Environmental Services Department promotes a clean, safe community through planning, projects, programs
and services spanning solid waste management, environmental quality and consumer health. The Consumer
Health Division is funded through the City of Fort Worth’s General Fund. The Consumer Health Division includes a
range of inspection and monitoring services to protect residents and visitors from environmental health
challenges. Promoting clean, safe and sanitary establishments and practices protects consumers from negative
health impacts (e.g., food-borne illness, vector-borne disease). Consumer Health activities include issuing health
permits, performing routine health inspections and conducting complaint investigations to support restaurants,
grocery stores, other food establishments, temporary food locations, public swimming pools/spas, childcare
centers and hotels/motels. The Division also provides health-related building plan reviews, food handler training,
pool operator training and oversees the mosquito surveillance program to ensure proactive measures to control
vector diseases and to reduce the risk of exposure to residents. The Division supports emergency preparedness
and response efforts for public health emergencies (e.g., disease outbreaks, water main breaks/boil water notices,
etc.)
