The Southwest Utah Public Health Department appreciated your invitation to investigate the _ disease outbreak which occured in Milford during January 1996. Based on the information — _ gathered during March 1996 related to the outbreak, it is not possible to identify a specific disease or cause for the outbreak. Concern expressed by some Milford citizens that the illnesses may have been associated with simultaneous breaks in the city's water and sewer lines in the same trench, though not unwarranted, cannot be substantiated nor refuted. However, the length of time between the first water/sewer line break and the onset of symptoms for the first case was _ inconsistent with suspected waterborne illnesses (break on 12/20/95 and onset on 1/6/96). Water samples also revealed a the water quality was satisfactory with no presence of fecal coliform. : County Clerk and related costs of acquiring land and constructing thereon a new county public safety facility, Part of the reason we were unable to identify a pathogen and passes cause of the illness was due tot the lack of fecal lab tests (tests were run on only a few patients) and the delay in receiving _the information necessary for public health to initiate the investigation.
