(a) The county sanitarian of each county shall, not less frequently than quarterly, inspect any and all refuse processing or refuse disposing facilities, or both, public or private, within the county for any practices or procedures followed in the county that do, or may, adversely affect the public health, the public safety, or the quality of the environment, and shall report the findings of the results of such inspections both to the board or governing body having jurisdiction over the area involved and to the superintendent.

(b) The superintendent, within budgetary, policy and feasibility limits as such are defined by the board or governing body, will make every effort to correct any shortcomings in county-owned operations reported upon by the county sanitarian.
