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 contaminated by animal faeces that had caused the incident which left dozens ill and thousands unable to drink tap water.
Ms Flowerdue said: 'We have identified that there is a damaged air valve on the network near the Hillhead Reservoir - but we absolutely want to make sure that's the only source . '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.
