Waterborne outbreak of cryptosporidiosis in the South East of Ireland: weighing up the evidence

ConclusionsThe Health Service Executive (HSE) concluded that this outbreak was “probably associated with water” produced at WTP A based on (1) descriptive epidemiological evidence suggesting water-related illness and excluding other obvious explanations; and (2) water treatment failure at WTP A. WTP A was closed to facilitate an upgrade. No boil water notice was required a s a supplementary supply was available. The upgrade was completed and the incident closed in 2013.
