Environmental Specialist Jessica Jungenberg presented the REHA and environmental health reports for March and April during the May 5 Marquette County Board of Health meeting. In March the department logged five rabies program contacts (including one quarantine order and one unvaccinated animal), one well water test, two kennel contacts and six housing contacts for loose debris or mold. In April the record shows one water test and 20 housing contacts.
Jessica also briefed the board on lab audit activity tied to water testing.
