If your business is located in a Marion County Wellfield and you handle chemicals, you may have been visited by a representative of the Marion County Public Health Department passing out some information about the new Wellfield Health Code and collecting contact information for your business.
The purpose of these visits is to give you and your business time to comply with the new health code before enforcement begins in January. In the packet your MCPHD representative passed out, you will find a postcard that you can fill out to request free and confidential assistance from MCWEC.
