Environmental Health: septic, wells, nuisance complaints and permits
The Calhoun County Environmental Department can be reached at 256-237-4324. Use Environmental Health for property, sanitation, food-service, well, septic, permit and public-health nuisance questions.
Before you call Environmental Health
- Have the exact property or establishment address ready.
- Know whether the issue is residential, commercial, food-service, septic, well, pool, body art, rabies or nuisance related.
- Write down dates, photos, contractor names, inspection history or complaint details.
- Ask which application, permit, inspection or complaint route applies before submitting documents.
Food-service sanitation and inspection scores in Calhoun County
The Environmental Health Division permits and inspects food service establishments in Calhoun County. ADPH explains that inspection scores reflect compliance with minimum health standards only at the time of inspection.
| Food score situation | ADPH inspection meaning | Resident interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Score 85 or above | Establishment is inspected at least once every 120 days. | Still read the inspection date and details. It is a snapshot, not a permanent guarantee. |
| Score below 85 | Establishment is inspected at least every 60 days. | Look for repeat issues and call Environmental Health for current concerns. |
| Score 60-70 | Immediate corrective action is required within 48 hours. | This is more serious than a minor paperwork issue. |
| Score below 60 | Establishment is closed immediately until it can attain a score of 85 or better. | Verify current status before assuming it is open or closed. |
| Critical violations not corrected | Re-inspection occurs within 10 days. | Critical items deserve close attention. |
How to make a useful food complaint
- Give the establishment name and exact location.
- Include the date and time.
- Describe the food eaten or condition observed.
- Note symptoms if illness occurred and whether others became sick.
- Keep receipts, photos or order records if available.
