Water ills on rise

WASHINGTON — Diseases re
lated to drinking water were con
trolled and reduced for more than
20 years. Today they are no longer
declining in the United States, says
a report to the U.S. National Com
mittee on Vital and Health Statis
tics.
Outbreaks of such diseases in the
four years 1971-74 were nearly dou
ble the number of outbreaks for the
years 1966-70 and earlier such
periods dating back to 1951-55.
But the type of waterborne dis
ease is changing. While typhoid
fever generally decreased, infec
tious hepatitis was on the rise.
The report was commissioned by
the government’s national center for
health statistics.
Waterborne disease is one of sev
eral environmental causes of illness
discussed in the report, which es
sentially is a survey of previous
studies with recommendations to fill
statistical gaps.
“Although there is increasing
public awareness of the importance
of the environment on the health
status of the U.S. population, there
has been no systematic national ef
fort to assess the problems,” said
chairman Dr. Kerr White in a
foreword.
White, with James Hopkins Uni
versity when the report was pre
pared, now directs the Institute of
Health Care Studies in New York
City.
The average annual number of
outbreaks for any one water systems
was 38 in the 1938-45 period, 23 for
1946-50, 10 for 1951-55, 12 for
1956-60, 11 for 1961-65, 14 for
1966-70 and 25 for 1971-74, accord
ing to one study cited in the report.
“Waterborne disease outbreaks
are no longer on the decline in the
United States,” the report con
cluded.
One well-documented infectious
hepatitis outbreak involving 90
cases resulted from a series of
events including a cross-connection
and reduced pressure in the water
mains resulting from a fire, the re
port said.
Gastroenteritis was the most fre
quently reported type of
waterborne illness in one study.
The report said several types of
illness never before associated with
documented waterborne outbreaks
appeared during the 1966-70
period.

Birnberg said Millard’s decision
m too broad and infringes on the
onstitutional right to free speech.
“The order doesn’t say, ‘You can’t

You can’t use the telephone to pro

Maness Tuesday tried unsuc
cessfully to persuade State District
Judge Arthur Lesher to vacate Mil
lard’s temporary restraining order
barring use of the recording.
The restraining order arose from a
suit filed by television personality
Marvin Zindler.
