Full Description

This paper briefly describes the growth of awareness of cryptosporidiosis in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, up to the outbreak in Swindon and Oxford in 1989. The inquiry by the water supplier and the results of the investigation by the committee set up by the Department of the Environment are described. The paper describes the immediate effect of the Swindon outbreak on North Surrey water quality. It describes the monitoring strategy for cryptosporidium which has been developed in North Surrey, and in associated companies in the same group ownership, and ends by describing the administrative arrangements for the regulation of prices and water quality for England and Wales, with particular reference to cryptosporidium.
