Devon parasite outbreak: ‘Boil water’ notice lifted for most

A water company has lifted a boil water notice for most residents after a parasite outbreak in Devon.

South West Water (SWW) said it was no longer advising 14,500 households in Brixham to boil their water before drinking it.

The company said 17,000 households and businesses had been affected by the boil water notice after traces of cryptosporidium, a parasite that causes prolonged diarrhoea, was identified in its network on Wednesday.

It is still advising around 2,500 properties in Hillhead, upper parts of Brixham and Kingswear to continue to boil their drinking water.
