'Animal waste or contaminated groundwater' may have entered Brixham water supply 

Put our bills up and still not treating water

Africans should send donations to 3rd world Britain, just £3 a month can help give a British village fresh clean drinking water apparently.

£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.

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 smell bs id check the water treatment centre

Disgusting

Time to take back utilities.

Boil the water bottles too. Don’t trust the Govt!

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 ?

£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!

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 😢

This is why I drink bottled water 😢

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

Will the Board members be drinking the Water by the gallon to show the water is safe?

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!!

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.

The UK can’t even provide the basic human necessity of water! Ain’t capitalism marvellous!

Trying to blame the Farmers.

This is horrific. Also Imagine the people in Gaza and Africa who has to drink dirty water everyday

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.

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.

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.

And for this we being charged water in and out

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!?

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.

I'll be OK I only drink beer 🍻

Y’all drank animal waste 🤢🤮

Evian gang

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.

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

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.

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

Uk the mini India

Not so much water as a Thick Shake. 😩

Here we hobahain. Prepare for snother lockdown.

Don't drink the crap!!! Haven't done for years now.

Russian cyber

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 ,

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?
