Testing and On-Site Sewage Disposal
On-site sewage disposal systems (septic systems) are inspected for compliance
with the CT Public Health Code. This includes site investigation, design
approval, permit issuance, and other necessary inspections. Individual
wells are evaluated to assure that an adequate supply of safe drinking
water is available to residents.
Rabies
Alert and Follow-up
Rabies is a fatal, viral disease that can be spread by the saliva of
infected animals, including bats, to people. It can be prevented by
vaccinating pets and people who work with animals. Anyone who suspects
that they may have had an exposure should contact their physician and
the Health District. All positive tests for rabies are immediately reported
to the Director of Health. The Health District staff then ensure that
exposed victims receive appropriate medical attention.
