The release of more than a million gallons of dairy waste which killed most of the fish and aquatic life in a section of the Neuse River in November points up a significant potential for pollution. This was the worst fish kill ever attributed to an animal waste spill in the state. The cities of Goldsboro and Smithfield were advised not to draw drinking water from the Neuse for several days.

Recent increases in outbreaks of giardiasis, a form of gastroenteritis caused by the parasite giardia lamblia, have been documented in several areas of the United States. According to the Communicable Disease Control Branch of the North Carolina Division of Health Services, the epidemiology of the disease in humans is not well understood. One of the provisions of the 1986 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments is designed as a safeguard against giardia contamination of public water supplies.
