Against Diseases Ex=
planned By Scott

with water an important factor
III daily life, 1t is fortunate that
with the aid of scientific progress
water is seldom the causatiVe agent
OF disease. and public support for
disease prevention measures anc
continued efforts by supervisory Off
Gals will keep 1t that way, Warren
j. Scott, director of the Bureau OF
Sanitary Engineering Of the State
Department of Health, declared in
the departments weekly broadcast
today.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Scott said, the
potential dangers and the methods
Of spread should be understood, SO
that people will continue to realize
that because water looks attrac-
tive and Is clear Is no guarantee OF
the absence of harmful bacteria,
and, moreover, that water which
tastes poorly because of dissolved
vegetable matter of microscopical
groWths may be derived from a clean
area free from harmful pollution
and may be safe to drink.
Diseases that may be caused by
water unless it is safeguarded are
Of the intestinal type, such as ty-
phoid fever, mild gastro-inteStinal
disturbances and dysentery. Contact
diseases, such as diphtheria, scarlet
| fever, etc, are not water borne.
Water borne diseases are caused by
! bacteria associated with wastes from
| the human body, and therefore sew
age disposal bears an important re-
lationship to the safety of water.
Milk, shellfish and other foods may
produce typhoid fever, and so may
the typhoid carrier. Safeguards in
creasingly thrown around public
water supplies have resulted in de-
creasing death rates from typhoid
fever. In 1900, the typhoid death
rate in Connecticut was 306 deaths
per 100000 population. In 1885 this
rate was only 08 deaths per 100000,
and the 1886 rate will be still lower.
Connecticuts public water sup
plies are derived from clean drain
age areas, Mr.. Scott continued, and
every effort is made to prevent such
catastrophes as occurred in Plym-
outh, Pa, in 1885 where wastes from
typhoid fever patient residing on
public water supply area were
washed into three reservoirs, caus-
ing ia deaths and l,l04 cases
among a population of 5000. Period
ic inspections of land draining into
public water supply streams and
reservoirs are made by water ON
Gals and sanitary engineers OF the
State Department of Health. Regu-
lar analyses are made by the de-
partment and by some local water
departments and companies. Treat
ment by filtration or colonization TO
destroy harmful bacteria is being
employed by all large systems and
by an increasing number OF small!
supplies. Constant check-ups are
made of piping cross-connections TO
prevent contamination. People are
also showing greater interest N
protecting private water supplies by
locating wells and springs at rea-
sonable distances from toilets, cess
pools and septic tank systems, ahc
by protecting against surface wash
and it's pollution by tight curbs ana
