Child Care

Southeastern District Health Department (SDHD) works in conjunction with the cities of Pocatello, Chubbuck, and the Department of Health & Welfare (ICCP, Idaho Child Care Program) to inspect and license child care facilities in our district.

 Drinking Water

Nearly all of the drinking water we obtain in Southeast Idaho comes from wells. For the most part, we enjoy safe, good quality drinking water. As our communities grow, more demands are placed on our aquifer and natural resources. Without careful planning and implementation, our good drinking water quality may be compromised.

 Solid Waste Disposal

All landfills are inspected by the Southeastern District Health Department at least once a year. Landfills are broken into two basic types; a) Municipal landfills and b) non-municipal landfills. Municipal landfills are landfills that accept household waste. Non-municipal landfills accept items such as yard waste, concrete, construction waste debris, trees, limbs etc. Within our 8 county district we have 22 landfills consisting of 7 municipal landfills and 15 non-municipal landfills.
