On January 1, 2006, the towns of Roxbury and Bridgewater folded their respective part-time health department offices into a regional entity still known as Newtown Health District. The agency is controlled by a six-member board, which consists of four members appointed by the Board of Selectmen with input from the Borough of Newtown’s warden and burgesses, and one additional member assigned to represent each of the additional member communities. Members serve for three-year terms. The agency’s mission is to promote and to protect the physical and environmental well-being of the citizens of the New-
town Health District through the provision of wellness and health-promotion programs, the active support of community efforts and collaboration with community partners, and the enforcement of public health laws and regulations. The Health District reviews plans for, issues permits to construct, and inspects new and repaired septic systems. It reviews permit applications and issues approvals for water supply well drilling. It reviews plans, issues licenses, and inspects food service establishments (delis, restaurants, schools, grocery stores, etc). It reviews and signs off on building permits for any/all proposed work to ensure compliance with Connecticut Public Health Code. The Health District investigates complaints (wastewater, pollution, housing, potential vermin, etc). It provides surveillance and follow-up on reportable communicable diseases that could have public health implications. It promotes health education on relevant local issues, such as tickborne disease prevention, physical activity and nutrition, and influenza prevention. It participates in local and regional public health emergency preparedness planning, exercises, and evaluation. The district hosts an annual Health Fair each September. The district employs a full-time salaried director of health, who oversees a staff of sanitarians and health inspectors. This district director also serves as the town’s deputy director of emergency management and coordinates actively with the emergency management team on all related issues.
