    Snippet: There was no prior study in Slovenia in which the surveillance data of acute gastrointestinal infections has been linked to E. coli findings from the regular monitoring of drinking water quality. Even though a high incidence of diarrheal diseases could be a logical consequence of poor water quality and has been confirmed in many water-borne outbreak situations (22) , the benefit of a compulsory notification system for waterborne outbreaks is prov.....
    Document: There was no prior study in Slovenia in which the surveillance data of acute gastrointestinal infections has been linked to E. coli findings from the regular monitoring of drinking water quality. Even though a high incidence of diarrheal diseases could be a logical consequence of poor water quality and has been confirmed in many water-borne outbreak situations (22) , the benefit of a compulsory notification system for waterborne outbreaks is proved to be an effective tool for gathering information and increasing the awareness of possible problems related to the quality of drinking water (23) . But the impact of microbiologically contaminated water on AGI incidence confirmed by the link between the non-compliant results of water quality monitoring due to E. coli and AGI incidence, has not yet been studied.
