- South West Water has told Totnes MP Anthony Mangnall that a damaged air valve "may have allowed animal waste or contaminated groundwater" to enter Brixham's water supply.
There are dozens of confirmed cases of cryptosporidiosis - an intestinal parasitic disease - in the area. Many more unconfirmed cases are suspected, as Sky News' Dan Whitehead reports.

Put our bills up and still not treating water
Don’t pay them!
Oh they are defo treating the water . Come September a wheelbarrow full of money will bt get anybody a loaf of bread.
Stop all payments to them.
It was an air admittance valve I think that must of cracked and let in ground water run off complete with all it's contaminants into service supply pipework.
Gaz UK
Africans should send donations to 3rd world Britain, just £3 a month can help give a British village fresh clean drinking water apparently.
😂😂 brilliant
love it lol. we pay £24 a month for sewage water lol
How about buying a goat? No, not needed. The Tory party is full of them.
kek
This is tory britain in 2024
£150.00. That is disgraceful. These companies are abusing and breaking the laws all the time. As usual no criminal trial or prison sentences for these profiteering crooks.
😂😂😂😂😂gift vouchers 😂
Coupons
After we all got poisoned 🤢 and can’t bath 🛁 🚾 🛀 🤮
Billions have been paid out in dividends whilst the water companies have neglected to invest. Great result of the Tories privatisation of our waterways.
Sewage outflow more like from the private water companies. Who pays for it? Tax payer's
I wonder when people will actually boycott paying water bills?
I have for 3 years.
i smell bs id check the water treatment centre
Check Tory HQ as well.
Oh well back to the alcohol then YIPPPPEEEEEE😂😂😂😂😂
@@Nolanaldridge Alcohol-based hand sanitizer isn't effective against it, so washing hands with soap and water is considered the best prevention.
Disgusting
Time to take back utilities.
Time to actually wash hands. The highly contagious parasite is difficult to get rid of because chlorine doesn't always kill it, according to the Mayo Clinic. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer isn't effective against it, so washing hands with soap and water is considered the best prevention.
Privatisation of any essential services MUST be banned
@@sanders7789 yeah....first get everyone to agree what essential services entail.
Boil the water bottles too. Don’t trust the Govt!
grow up
is there no risk of contamination from the girl scratching her arse @3:11 and then fiddling with the caps of the bottles @3:26 ?
😂😂😂
She's a volunteer. Take it out of her wages.
£100 mingy quid !!! What an insult!!
This is awful and the compensation is a joke. The water companies really do need to sort themselves out. No bonuses, all monies from us people is put back into it. But we know that won’t happen!
I agree! And it is happening all over now, people put things like metal and paper (money)before the health of others all the time, we should be learning and coping better not worse, especially if evolution is right? we need to do better! x
Boil your water, all while electricity costs a ridiculous amount. Why is the cost of staying safe the customers responsibility?
🇬🇧 infrastructure is deliberately being left to decay, we are a third world country we are broken 😢
Multiculturalism is our strength 💪 😂 time to migrate to Russia or China
This is why I drink bottled water 😢
Even bottle water I boil, some has limescale in them. It will be evident when u boil, that water also not good, specially for men
full of plastic.
Sammmee
That's why I drink distilled water and remineralise it.
@@OpenlyBritishvery expensive
Fgs these water companies only care about profit. What a joke
We in Hampshire have to contend with human waste being pumped into our rivers.
I have never ever believed drinking tap water is ok
Me3 😂❤❤
I was call ☎️ a snob 😂😂😂scared
Mongo
Will the Board members be drinking the Water by the gallon to show the water is safe?
Obviously not, because they aren’t saying it’s safe. They’re giving out bottled water.
Prison is whats needed jail all involved
Why are Labour not calling for taking the water companies back into our ownership?
Ask Africa for money, Dai walked 10 miles for the bottled water today.
Yeah and well continue paying council tax and do literally F ALL!! They are poisining us!!
Water bill is not taken from Council tax.
There was a similar incident in that neck of the woods circa 1994. From memory it was identified to a pumping station close to Totnes. There should be plenty of information for the authorities to learn from.
But seeing as the water companies have not upgraded the pipes i bet it was handwaived
What a surprise that the tories were also in power in 1994. It happens whenever tories are in power
The UK can’t even provide the basic human necessity of water! Ain’t capitalism marvellous!
It would be even worse in a Communist country.
Capitalism is good, but rampant profiteering and corruption is not.
Its England's problem, not the UK.
Again another opportunist confusing corporatism with capitalism
Stop confusing England with the UK.
Trying to blame the Farmers.
Well lax environmental laws brought about by the tories allows farmers to dump effluent without much recourse.
@@Hoozpoppin it was the water companies, not the farmers
@@Hoozpoppinhang on a sec, we farmers have to follow a very strict protocol.
@@Hoozpoppinyou haven’t got a single clue why make things up? It’s seriously strange behaviour. Privatisation of water and waste treatment and collection in water and actual collection of rubbish is the actual problem they aren’t held accountable despite the billions in subsidies they receive from the tax payer so they can pay shareholders and leave the infrastructure to rot. Nationalisation will happen it’s a fact these companies don’t work and will never work.
@@TheMegahusky I've seen the big-eared boys on farms.
This is horrific.
Also Imagine the people in Gaza and Africa who has to drink dirty water everyday
Yawn
People in Gaza, African countries and the UK should deal with their CORRUPTION. That's the root of all evils.
And who's fault is that?
While in some parts of Africa they have to drink dirty water but in most parts they don't and in gaza they don't. Stop getting your facts from some bloke down the pub.
Safe and effective
Failed state Oligarchy.
So with the water outbreak in Devon, and now the stuff going on in Brixham, ill just stick to beer for the time being.
Very funny!
A faulty valve they say - which valve would this be then? The "dumps sh!t in the reservoir" valve?
People need to get together and take out a class action lawsuit.
I bet there's more to this than what they're saying. 😮
It's the verbal diarrhoea constantly spewing from sunak and Cameron
so nothing to do with the raw human waste that they pump into the sea then
What an insult
Water is a basic human necessity and should NEVER be privatised! All they do is prioritise profits over safety. They don't give a !@£% about anyone's health. This water issue is far bigger than what is currently being reported.
They will be charging us for the air that we breathe next! lol!
Should check the tap water in Warwickshire bloody vile
And this is modern West European country…
Shameful!
Blame the Animals and Farms , not the human sunny. Waste they deal with. Suits the news narative.
Easy targets us farmers.
And for this we being charged water in and out
Exactly, being charged for wee
It costs more to treat a cubic meter foul water than 10 cubic meters of water from source.
I rather think its from humans
Take back control of all the poisoning water companies, stop paying them , nationalised all payments invested in more filtration plants , more reservoir s, clean the river beds stop sewage going into them and our seas. Heavily fine farmers for letting run entering our streams and rivers and chicken farmers also for polluting the water courses.
Oh dear i hope the dividends for the investers won't be hurt by this ,i mean they have suffered enough over the ungratefull masses wanting clean water to drink.
The Water Privatisation has been an unmitigated disaster. This week alone we have this and millions of litres of sewage discharged into Windemere?
Our ‘efficient’ companies are even suggesting it will cost extra to stop these constant discharges when it is a core component of their actual role!!!
We need regulation and severe punishments for these cowboys.
This is why I have bottles of water at home in case of pipes breaking etc..
This Was Inevitable It Was Going To Happen !!! ABSOLUTELY NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!!
Omg how awful this is vile to the core absolutely horrid
What about peoples pets how many of them have been ill or worse. Make sure they pay your vets bills.
I fail to understand what else can a water company do apart from providing clean and fresh water?
I live in South East UK and keep getting diarrhea since about the time this all started and now I'm starting to wonder ???
Ahh the English water companies. Knocking it`s customers back centuries in terms of safe, clean drinking water.
Oh yes and charging us for it.
Maybe we should all start digging wells.
Which farmer contaminated the. ground water?
Where has the money gone? Offshore!?
I was moaning to a bloke in work about the water companies and he came in the next day with a list of the major water companies and some of their biggest shareholders. That money is going everywhere China, Saudi Arabia , Dubai, International hedge funds , Canadian pension funds to name a few. Welsh water was the only run not for profit with no shareholders
and now people from all of the country are calling the Welsh water board asking to be switched over to them! lol!

I'll be OK I only drink beer 🍻
Y’all drank animal waste 🤢🤮
🤑🤑
Evian gang
So naive!
As humans are also animals, there's a chance that sewage got into the system, just like it "mysteriously" got into the rivers etc. As for the compensation paid out....the recipients will end up paying it back when the water company increases the bills.
Our British Water companies. Are Water Aid.
I thought i swallowed a small worm last week when i had a glass of water.
Sure it wasn't the last of your Tequila?
@@eyesodd😅😅
Sunak was having a swim.
The UK was the birth of modern Public Health. It led the world in this field for many years. It started in the 1850's when it as discovered in North London that water could transmit desease. Before that it was thought that they were transmitted by smell. At that time the life expectancy of a UK citizen was 40 years. Until a few years ago it was 82 years. What caused this advance in longevity ? It was little to do with the NHS. It was Public Health. I am loosely defining that as policies which prevent people getting ill rather than curing them once they get ill. Over that time period many laws and regulations were enacted and enforced that protect us in our interaction with our environment. They include laws on the water we drink, the air we breath, the food we eat, the houses we live in, the places we work, our places of entertainment, and lastly the roads we drive on. Lots of these laws are being eroded or allowed to lapse. I had a career in Public Health for many years. I was working for a Local Authority. I am retired now, but in the 1970's I used to take water samples from public places to be tested and analysed. That all ended when Thatcher's government privatised the Water Companies. Already our life expectancy has been reduced. The problem is the British people voted for this.
I thought it might be the animals , after all there is a war on farming
Ppl putting dog poo down drains. NO BINS IN THE STREETS.
Hungry for money boy. Hungry for money!!!
I see they still have the sewage outfall off Sharkham point that back in the 60s made diving around St Mary's bay so "enjoyable" - the used condoms and brown floaters were a real treat. The gulls used to really go for it. I wonder if these gulls bomb the reservoir with cryptosporidium laden $h!t€ afterwards.
Without social media no one would have found out 🙈 South West water have been in denial the whole time until social media broke the news 🤪
Thank goddess i drink filtered water
Take this to the goodmorning britain have discussion about it lol😙
Crypto strikes again... Whatever happened to the good old fiatsporidium?
theyve known for at least a month n still dont 5now what happened?
may have? u've had a mont4 n should be monitoring
cryptosporidium, is that some kind of crypto crash warning? 🤣
I work for a water company and this sounds like absolute bull..🫤 The company I work for has recently employed some.... well let's be nice and just say unqualified and untrained people. Imo this has put our company at risk of something like this happening to our customers..😵💫 I wonder if they have these people too..🤔 I strongly doubt this offical story, as it doesnt quite sound at at plausible. I won't be surprised if it turn out I'm right..😞
Do whales and dolphins and fish poo in the sea
They do, I but advice not to drink sea water.
The UN should send aid to England for drinking water
What about the waste that comes out of Parliament and into the Thames 😂but seriously this could be dangerous the environment agencies should be arrest for this people could die like in east Africa ,only they don't have share holders run off with the cash and given us the middle finger .
Go With Rishi !!! Go Rishi...GO !!
That is because no bins are on the streets for dog poo.
Oh if it were just that simple! x
Well done south west we are drinking feeces now
Welcome to Tory brexit Britain. What a load of 💩
This is a new flavor I haven’t heard of. Where is it available, Lidl?
That would explain the average iq of a Brixham resident
here the elite come for the animals now right on time
Yep, another "reason" to conveniently get rid of livestock.
Uk the mini India
That's insulting to Indians
Not so much water as a Thick Shake. 😩
Here we hobahain. Prepare for snother lockdown.
another brexit success!
So glad we got rid of the water quality standards on day 1
Dont make me laugh. England's water and sanitation systems have been leaps ahead of those on the continent for centuries. England had sanitation laws in place when those on the continent were still throwing their waste bodily and household waste into the middle of the streets.
Stop with your fake history.
Ah! Join the club!! Just like third world villages!! Bongo Bongo Britannia!!! 😂😂😂😂
Don't drink the crap!!! Haven't done for years now.

Water buffaloes
I like how they’ve turned the comments off for gender ideology being banned in schools coz they don’t want to see the replies, they want everyone to think it’s a bad idea
I live in Brixham and i still think it tastes nice ,
We're talking about the water
Cowshit tea! Yummy!
Not acceptable, do they not test the water b4 sending it out,test should be done ever 6 hours
Sunak went swimming?
@Didyeaye404
He and his Indian countrymen call cow dung in the water supply flavoring from the gods.
