Source waters for drinking-water supplies are coming under increased
scrutiny. The largest waterborne disease outbreak in U.S. history occurred
in Milwaukee in 1993. In that outbreak, 403,000 people became ill and 104
died of Cryptosporodiosis, a disease caused by the protozoan
Cryptosporidium. However, problems with the sanitary quality of U.S. water
supplies and source waters were well-known even before the Milwaukee
outbreak. Various estimates suggest that between 900,000 and 2 million
people become ill each year in the United States by ingesting protozoan,
bacterial, and viral pathogens in incompletely treated and untreated
drinking water.
