Abstract

Reported outbreaks of waterborne disease most frequently involve semi-public systems which are frequently inadequately maintained and monitored. The most common system deficiencies associated with these outbreaks are lack of treatment of ground water and treatment deficiencies such as malfunctioning chlorinators. The most common factors associated with these outbreaks are treatment deficiencies and deficiencies in the distribution system. Data are tabulated and presented graphically.
