Residents in parts of Brixham, Boohay, Kingswear, Roseland and North West Paignton were told to boil their drinking water after 22 cases of cryptosporidiosis were confirmed in the Devon area.
South West Water has apologised for a waterborne disease outbreak in Devon after a parasite was found in a key reservoir. Residents in parts of Brixham and Alston were told to boil their drinking water on Wednesday after the water firm found 'small traces' of the parasite cryptosporidium - which causes cryptosporidiosis - in the Hillhead reservoir.
The UK Health Security Agency said 22 people are confirmed to have the disease, and as many as 70 other cases of diarrhoea and vomiting in residents and visitors to Brixham are also under investigation. More confirmed cases are expected.
