Sanitary engineers in the Public Health Service during World War II. Since the turn of the 20th century sanitary engineers have played a very important role in the Service by dealing with problems related to water supplies, sewage disposal, industrial wastes, and other environmental hygiene concerns. They have worked to control yellow fever, malaria, and waterborne diseases, such as typhoid fever. The first sanitary engineer was employed by the Service in 1913.
