Health Officer Garrity advised the Board annual wet season testing has not begun yet due to drier than normal conditions. The monitoring wells are being tested weekly and the Environmental Health Office is confident that an adequate water level will be reached very soon and the Health Department will be able to process the 37 current applications on file.

The Cecil County Community Health Survey, which is conducted every five years, will be mailed out to 11,000 random households; the Heath Department is encouraging those households selected to complete the survey and return it to the Health Department. This survey is used to plan for future funding and programs within the Health Department.
