Cases of disease more than double after parasite found in drinking water
The confirmed cases of a waterborne disease caused by a parasite have more than doubled.
There are 46 cases of cryptosporidiosis, a diarrhoeal illness, the UK Health Security Agency has said - with more than 100 further people reporting similar symptoms in the Brixham area.
Other reported cases of diarrhoea and vomiting in residents and visitors to Brixham, in Devon, are also under investigation.

Why are shareholders getting anything? The water companies signed a deal years ago saying they would maintain network to modern standard they haven’t so in reality zero profit or there should be none because it’s ear marked for maintenance and updating. Basically they reneged on their initial deal with government

I think it’s responsibility of NHS and Central Government to take tests from absolutely everyone in the area. That way it can be used when legal action is taken against water company

Really? That the extent of the public information? NOT GOOD ENOUGH! SEND EMERGENCY SUPPORT NOW ! Health professionals to answer calls from the concerned, provide access to GP and a&E services, weekend cover with ambulances and to access to information and assistance without delay when needed. Provide checks on elderly and vulnerable, provide support in schools and in clinics and hospitals. AND get the health emergency sorted without delay. Make suppliers and all responsible accountable. There should be questions, consequences and an invoice!
Bottles of water will be sold out everywhere good job sky.

Maybe. This parasite can spread person to person and not just from drinking crap riddled water. Flooding has been crazy, rivers bursting banks all over the place. This was a ticking time bomb and the government would have known it but didn't bother to warn anyone. Welcome to 2024.

Makes one appreciate our normal supply of water in the UK. some people live with this quality of water daily plus walking miles to get enough for the day. Usually very fortunate, switch a switch and electricity flows, turn a tap and we have water. Appreciate what we have, just the management needs to be more responsible and organised.🇬🇧🏴🏴🏴
