       Brixham, a Devon harbour town, has been struck by an illness caused by a microscopic parasite - cryptosporidium - in the water! About 16,000 households and businesses in the Brixham area have been told by South West Water (SWW) not to use their tap water for drinking without boiling and cooling it first.Not an expert but it does strike me as symptomatic of the state of our water companies and water system. #Water #Sewage #ukpoliticshttps://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/may/17/devon-businesses-fear-losses-as-tourists-put-off-by-outbreak-of-parasitic-disease?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

       @pvonhellermannn The State of "English" water companies, Scotland water is still publicly owned.I'm not saying it's prefect but there has been no shareholder dividend meaning maintenance and safety have been forsaken to boost profit.
