Environmental Public Health - Daytona Field Office
The Daytona field office works closely with local governments to stop problems before they happen. We approach all problems by being educators first, and regulators second.
Our Health Department is one of five counties statewide participating in a State sponsored beachwater sampling program called Florida Healthy Beaches. Concurrent with this State sponsored program is a study initiated by the Volusia County Health Department in November 1996 to accumulate microbiological data on the beachside swimming areas in east Volusia. This data is being analyzed and the program modified as a result. The results of this program are posted in the Daytona Beach News Journal on a routine basis.
Because of the age of many of the subdivisions within our area, the majority of our work in the onsite sewage program is the permitting of existing system repairs. These often provide an interesting challenge as many of the subdivisions are burdened with high density, high water tables, wells on site and in many cases surface water. This office has encouraged connection to city sewer whenever possible in these problem areas. We are located at:
1845 Holsonback Dr.
Daytona Beach, FL 32117
Phone: 386-274-0692
