BoH Mission


The Harding Board of Health oversees the Health Department and has the authority to adopt ordinances related to public health.  The powers and duties of the Board are described in N.J.S.A. 26:3-1 to 26:3-91 which covers every thing from organization and structure to procedures for passing ordinances and rules.  The Board ensures that the provisions of Minimum Standards of Performance for Health Department, a series of state regulations, are being met.

The Board has adopted strict environmental regulations governing the design and placement of septic systems and drinking water wells in addition to rules governing sanitation, public health nuisances and noise.  The Board hears applications for waivers to these standards.  The Board also establishes policies relating to public health services such as health screening clinics, flu immunization clinics, and services to the senior community. 

In Harding the Board of Health has a scheduled meeting once a month, with an occasional special meeting set a mutually convenient time.  The scheduled meetings are on the second Thursday of the month at 7:30 PM and generally last between one and two hours.  The meetings are advertised and open to the public.
