The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment (LCDHE) investigates complaints regarding environmental hazards that impact public health. This includes concerns about air quality, solid and hazardous waste, drinking water, septic systems, retail food safety, public facility safety and sanitation, and more. 

In a significant step towards enhancing air quality, the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, in partnership with the Board of Larimer County Commissioners, is proud to introduce a new grant program aimed at supporting commercial landscaping businesses in transitioning from gas-powered to electric landscaping equipment. This initiative underscores the county's commitment to both environmental sustainability and public health.

Mosquitoes and West Nile Virus in Larimer County

West Nile virus (WNV) is a disease spread from infected mosquitoes to people. In 2023, we saw record numbers of mosquitoes that can carry this virus in Larimer County, including in the Town of Berthoud.

The Town of Berthoud currently has a mosquito management program that uses larvicides to control mosquito populations. Larvicides are insecticides that target mosquito larvae, helping to manage mosquitoes both indoors and outdoors. Larvicides do not kill adult mosquitoes.

In 2008, Colorado passed the Public Health Reauthorization Act, which requires local public health agencies to create a health improvement plan based on a community health assessment and with community input. Larimer County's Community Health Improvement Plan (or CHIP for short) is developed every five years to ensure that community voice guides our priorities in health related prevention work for everyone in Larimer County.
