Cryptosporidium: Devon parasite outbreak costs Pennon Group £16m

A water parasite outbreak in Devon earlier this year cost South West Water’s (SWW) parent company £16.3m, bosses have confirmed.

The outbreak of cryptosporidium in May saw about 100 confirmed cases of the diarrhoea-type illness in and around Brixham.

Pennon, the parent company of SWW, said the £16.3m went towards customer compensation, providing eight weeks’ worth of bottled water for people affected, and to carry out “extensive interventions to clean and filter the network”.

Pennon said it made a £38.8m pre-tax loss in the six months to September.
