Welcome to Ask the Health Officer: A Community Conversation! Join us at the Springfield Town Library for an interactive discussion with Chuck Wise, our deputy health officer and zoning administrator.

By law, every town and city in Vermont has a local board of health. The local board of health consists of the town health officer and the Selectboard. The duties and responsibilities of the Board of Health are established by state statute.

Town health officers are responsible for:

• Investigating possible public health hazards and risks within the town

• Taking action to prevent, remove, or destroy any public health hazards

• Taking action to lessen significant public health risks

• Enforcing health laws, rules, and permit conditions, and taking the steps necessary to enforce orders

This is your chance to ask questions, share concerns, and learn more. Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with others and get the answers you need.
