Where do I make a complaint if I become sick from eating food at an event or restaurant?

If you believe that you became ill as a result of eating a meal prepared at a food establishment located in Washoe County, please call our office at (775) 328-2434 to report your illness.

Do I need a permit to drill or recondition an existing well?

A well construction permit must be obtained from Northern Nevada Public Health to construct, drill, deepen or plug a well. Well construction permits can be applied for via our online permitting portal www.OneNV.us. Please refer to our Well Permitting Requirements (English) (Spanish) for the minimum requirements for all well construction permits. Additional items may be required based on site conditions.
