South West Water warning after cryptosporidium cases in Devon

Residents across south Devon have been advised to boil their tap water after 16 cases of cryptosporidium were confirmed.

The UK Health Security Agency said it was working with Torbay Council, South West Water (SWW), NHS Devon and the Environment Agency to investigate the cases, and about 70 further suspected incidents in Brixham.

The agency said it was a “predominantly a waterborne disease” which caused a diarrhoea-type illness.

Chris Rockey, from SWW, said it would continue to work with “health professionals and monitor the water”.
