Gastroenteritis: Case Study of a Colorado Outbreak
A waterborne nonbacterial gastroenteritis outbreak occurred in March 1981 in the Colorado communities served by the Eagle‐Vail Water District. The outbreak was linked to a chlorinator failure as well as a long‐standing filter deficiency and malfunction of an upstream sewage treatment plant. Illness was statistically associated with water consumption. The direct costs for medical care, time lost from work, purchase of bottled water, and emergency repairs to the water treatment system were estimated to have been $258 231, or $73 per resident. Costs to rectify the problems discovered in the water treatment plant, including long‐term improvements, were almost $1.2 million.
