Viruses in a community water supply associated with an outbreak of gastroenteritis and infectious hepatitis

Hejkal, T.W. / Keswick, B. / LaBelle, R.L. / Gerba, C.P. / Sanchez, Y. / Dreesman, G. / Hafkin, B. / Melnick, J.L.

When a waterborne outbreak of gastroenteritis and hepatitis occurred in Georgetown, Texas, in June 1980, human enteric viruses were isolated from two of the city's wells and from a 720‐L sample of the city's potable water. Hepatitis A virus was also detected in the sewage and in one well‐water sample. The demonstration of viruses in the groundwater supply during a disease outbreak has implications for other communities that rely on groundwater and practice little or no water treatment.
