Yet groups that educate the public about disease prevention have historically had trouble, or not made an effort, to get their messages to the people who most need to hear them. Concerned about this communication gap, a black pediatrician and her West End Medical Clinic's Council on Health Education are organizing a coalition of health groups to "declare war on lifestyles that contribute to excess deaths" in the West End and Newburg, both predominantly black areas.

It wasn't until test results were received on May 16 that officials realized the problem was more serious and found the cause, Hanks said.

About 80 homeowners in the area have been warned to discard any water or ice stored at the time of the contamination or any that appears blue.

Ironworks Pike and Midway Road in Scott County was polluted with fertilizer on May 6, said Lou Martin, spokeswoman for the cabinet. But it was not until May 16 that the cabinet was notified, she said. Martin said the Ellis Garden Center in Scott County was piping water into four 30-gallon tanks of fertilizer creating a cross-connection without the equipment necessary to prevent fertilizer from siphoning back into the system. Larry Hanks, manager of Georgetown's water and sewer service, said he did not notify the state sooner because the city did not find out what the problem was until May 16.
