FREE FROM CONTAMINATION?
some Points To H. Observed II We

,Bv Or. 4 X. Lewis State Health
Commissioner
Nobody any longer discounts the
worth Of pure drinking water.
And mos, persons. as we'll as cities
hay. learned that the possession Of a
splendid water supply is a big boost
fo- any community. Ignorance and
Indifference. has. therefore been sup
planted in nearly all municipalities by
a lively interest in this most impOr-
TAM question.
Th- sanitary quality of private
water supplies must be judged by the
individual who owns the we'll or
spring. for at the present time only
samples from municipal waterworks
are analyzed at the state Laboratory.
Exception TO this rule is made in
case of suspected source
In surveying the premises in gen.
eral. the question that should be
kept uppermOst in mind is this: Does
any opportunity exist in our human
intestinal or urinary discharge to
gain access to the water? Pollution
by the lower animals is rarely dan
gerous because lower animals are sell
dom subject to the same infectious
disease as humans. Furthermore.
the only human diseases that are
considered as being transmitted by
drinking water are intestinal infes-
tions OF which typhoid and dysentary
are the most common examples.
A we'll may become contaminated
from the top or the water bearing
strata may be affected by nearby
sources of ground pollution so far
as underground contamination is
concerned. II is we'll to remember
that the average soil is a good filter
and the straining action Of the soil
and the ageing Of contamination dur
ing travel toward the we'll greatly
reduce the chance Of this source
of pollution through underground
channels.
Greatest sources Of contamination
are cesspOols. privies. and leaky sew
