Artikel 30

1. The authorities of the Forces and the German authorities shall extend to each other the fullest co-operation in matters concerning health and sanitation, particularly with respect to the control of communicable diseases; such co-operation shall extend to the exchange of information and statistics.
2. In the vicinity of installations of the Forces the German authorities shall, at the request of the authorities of the Forces, take such health and sanitation measures as are necessary to protect the health of the Forces. When the German authorities are not in a position to take action adequate to meet military requirements with respect to the disposal of waste, insect and rodent control, or water purification in areas outside cities, the Forces may themselves take such measures. Standards for the purification of water in cities where Forces are stationed will be agreed upon by the authorities of the Forces and the municipal authorities to guarantee a water supply free from contamination to the Forces.
