What is the water problem in Devon?
a waterborne disease has been found in the Main’s drinking water here in a part of South Devon so what does it mean if you get it cryptos peridium is a tiny parasite that can be found in the guts of wild and domesticated animals and sometimes can contaminate rivers and reservoirs that are used by water companies if you get it it can lead to weeks of diarrhea and dehydration with children under five and those with weaker immune systems most likely to be affected and in serious cases need hospital treatment there is no specific treatment for the parasite itself but those who are infected should stay hydrated and drink plenty of fluids

We pay higher charges but get more problems someone needs to be held accountable.
Embarrassing.
Ya'll get the shits.Mr Flanagan

I’m a healthy adult but 2 weeks of diarrhoea is definitely going to make me half dead.
Drink plenty of water…..
This is beyond a joke now! The government is squeezing every last penny out of people and we have to put up with this?? What is wrong with the British people??? What else has to happen for people to stand up
This is the problem with privatised companies, instead of investing, and upgrading infrastructure they shove the profits into stakeholder and investors pockets
Strange timing isnt it with the influx of immigration maybe they bathing in our water supplies
I'm sure their shareholders were well cared for though.
Just proves yet again the water companies can’t be trusted
The days of drinking tap water in this country have long gone!
It should only be 6 weeks to flatten the curve.
Shareholders champagne was fine.
They've probably been pumping sewage into rivers and reservoirs
Run by boxtickers
Ask Boris Johnson to drink that water 💧
If I was made ill with the drinking water and had time off work I would sue for compensation
Eye of a needle
Sounds like an awesome name for a metal band.
Back water Devon
Have tea instead of plain water 😉
The government will have put the disease there deliberately.
Me: Infected by a waterbourne disease.
Government: Drink plenty of water 😂
Gets water disease
Needs to drink water to fight water disease
So.. That means foods will be contaminated also cider etc..
It's not just that area. I,bet there loads. All,over the place
I lived in an area that got cryptosporidium contamination in their water supply and it was late seventies/ early eighties. Publicly owned then. We weren’t notified straight away. My whole family was ill. Eventually a whole new pipeline had to be built because the aquifer had been contaminated and it could not be eradicated.
We should do a non payment of water Bills across the board,I am so angry about this
If an animal dies in the river and levels build up it sets off an alarm at the treatment centre. What's the bets this alarms been broken for year's
Stay hydrated?! When the water itself is contaminated?!
the problem is ‘privatisation’ & its resultant ‘profiteering’
Toilet roll sales sky rocket in area I bet
