In his column, AWWA Executive Director Jack Hoffbuhr discusses Sydney, Australia's recent problems with Cryptosporidium in the water supply. He briefly talks about the different approaches that the United Kingdom and the United States are taking to guard against microbiological contaminants, and urges Australian counterparts to fashion a program for controlling Cryptosporidium and other pathogens based on public health principles rather than political expediency.
