<br />WATER - DR. O~TERUD, HEALTH OfFICER, BEGAN THE PRESENTATION CONCERNING THE
<br />C,TY'S WATER SUPPLY AND, ON QUESTIONS BY COUNCILMAN WILSON, AGREED THAT HEPA-
<br />TITIS IS CAUSED BY A VIRUS, THAT ,IT CAN BE CONTRACTED BY CONTACT WITH OTHER
<br />PERSONS OR BY CONTACT IN A VARIETY OF OTHER WAYS. IT WAS LIKEWISE STATED THAT
<br />HEPATITIS IS EASILY SPREAD. IN THE PRESENTATION, DR. OSTERUD MADE AVAILABLE
<br />TO EACH MEMBER Of THE COMMITTEE AND TO OTHERS INTERESTED A SHEET SHOWING THE
<br />NUMBER Of CASES OF INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS BY AREA AND BY YEAR STARTING WITH 1953
<br />AND EXTENDING TO 1959, THE CURRENT DATE. HE STATED THAT INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS

<br />
<br />DR. OSTERUD SHOWED A MAP WHICH GRAPHICALLY SET FORTH THE INCIDENCE Of INFECTIOUS
<br />HEPATITIS IN EUGENE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION CON-
<br />CERNING CASES Of INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS FIRST CONTRACTED AT IDA PATtERSON SCHOOL
<br />HE STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WATER BORNE OUTBREAK BUT THAT IT WAS A PERSON-
<br />TO-PERSON TYPE OUTBREAK. HE DEFINED A WATER BORNE OUTBREAK AS EXPLOSIVE IN
<br />NATURE WITH A NUMBER OF CASES OCCURRING AT THE SAME TIME, WHILE A PERSON-TO-
<br />PERSON OUTBREAK REQU1RES AN INCUBATION PERIOD AND IS ONE CASE ON TOP Of
<br />ANOTHER. WITH RESPECT TO EUGENE'S WATER SUPPLY, DR: OSTERUD STATED THAT THERE
<br />IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE WATER SUPPLY IS NOT SAFE IN ALL
<br />RESPECTS. HE fURTHER STATED THAT WITH THE KNOWLEDGE Of VIRUS THAT WE NOW POSSESS,
<br />AND UPON CONSULTATION WITH THE STATE HgALTH DEPARTMENT, THE CHLORINATION Of THE
<br />EUGENE WATER SUPPLY HAD BEEN HEAVILY INCREASED. HE FURTHER INDICATED THAT WITH
<br />THE ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF VIRUS, THE SUPER-CHLORINATION Of THE WATER SUPPLY WOULD
<br />PROBABLY BE:MAINTAINED. RECOGNITION WAS ALSO GIVEN'TO T~E FACT THAT EUGENE HAS
<br />SOME SEWAGE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY IN WEST EUGENE, BUT THAT THE HEPATITIS CASES OF
<br />RECORD WERE NOT CONTRACTED BY THE SPREAD Of SEWAGE BUT WERE CONTRACTED ON A
<br />PERSON-TO-PERSON BASIS. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THE ONLY ADEQUATE METHOD OF
<br />CONTROL Of INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS IS AN ADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY AND ADEQUATE SEWERS.

<br />IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION HE EXPLAINED THAT WE DO NOT CONTROL A DISEASE SUCH
<br />AS INfECTIOUS HEPATITIS BY QUARANTINE, BUT DO CONTROL BY CONSULTATION WITH THE
<br />INDIVIDUAL AFFECTED AND INSTRUCTION IN THE DISPOSAL Of BODY 'WASTES.
