Abstract
SYNOPSISAN OUTBREAK OF gastro‐enteritis in several villages to the North East of Leeds, England, in July 1980 was rapidly traced to the water supply. One of the source boreholes was found to be contaminated by sewage from faulty sewers, via the Magnesian limestone. The combination of circumstances which allowed the contaminated water to enter the supply are described, as are the ways in which systems were improved to prevent any similar incident occurring
