South West Water has issued a Boil Water Notice affecting approximately 16,000 households and businesses in the Brixham area, urging residents to boil tap water before consuming it due to the presence of cryptosporidium.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently investigating cases of cryptosporidium, prompting South West Water to take precautionary measures to ensure public safety. Customers in the Alston and Hillhead areas of the network, which supply water to Brixham, Boohay, Kingswear, Roseland, and North West Paignton, are affected by the notice.
