Sewage Treatment & Disposal
Human and animal sewage contains large numbers of potential pathogens (disease causing organisms). If sewage collection, treatment and disposal are not managed properly it can pose a significant threat to public health.
Health Protection Officers work with regional and local council on planning and resource consent processes, surveillance, information gathering and responding to incidents and complaints.
