It’s about time Directors of Water Companies are made criminally responsible for contaminated water and pollution caused by sewage.

Windermere has recently been polluted by raw sewage yet again. Until individuals can be held personally responsible there is no incentive to stop this sort of thing.

We don’t have a proven cause at Brixham yet but if it turns out to be sewage contaminating the water supply then they need the book throwing at them!

South West Water put out a statement this morning saying they had tested the water supply and there was nothing wrong with it.
They have also been telling people ringing them that no one else has contacted them with concerns about their water supply when they have had dozens of calls on the matter

On the south west water website it's indicating 2 specific areas that are effected with boil water guidelines but the online map is showing a far greater area effected, it was a punt but I just asked incase there happened to be a funster that was in the area and could give factual info rather than the news feeds which appear to be inaccurate.

Bummer if you just put 100L in your tank. You'll have to drain down and sterilise the system. There'll be a lot of unhappy bunnies at Hillhead CAMC which is in the affected area.

Normal sterilisation does not kill it...very difficult to deal with.

The initial response by the Water Co. was reminiscent of Fujitsu in the PO. debacle. You are the only one!
