A South West Water boss has refused to give a timeline on when a notice to boil tap water will be lifted after a parasite was found in a key reservoir.
Speaking to Sky News, Laura Flowerdue, the company's chief customer officer, confirmed the suggestion it was likely a broken air valve that had been contaminated by animal faeces that had caused the incident that had left dozens ill and thousands unable to drink tap water. However, she refused to give a timeframe on how long the incident would run on for - leaving thousands of residents facing an uncertain future.
'We understand this a valve on one of the pipes heading towards the reservoir in a farmer's field, there are cattle in the field and it's a possibility that's the source of the contamination.' South West Water previously apologised for the disease outbreak in Devon after the parasite was found in the key reservoir.
