the reason the health department tracks chlamydia infections is because it spreads easily, is very common, can cause infertility as well as infection in newborns when the mother is infected. the biggest concern is that because it tends not to cause any obvious symptoms, most folks do not seek out testing/treatment for it so they want to make sure it's done.  Typically if you tell them that you already told your partner and they were treated, they offer counseling/education on std prevention for you and don't make a big deal out of it.

The health department will call you and request your partners name. You don't have to give it but they will explain further to you why it is so important to do so.  

did your partner also receive treatment?
