South West Water invites local customers, businesses and local MP to their community event in Brixham

South West Water has invited locals as well as MP Caroline Voaden to one of their series of community events. The next event being held in Brixham in September will give local customers and businesses the chance to ask questions to their team of experts.

The event will include a panel of South West Water representatives, along with local MP Caroline Voaden and will be run by an independent chair. People attending have been given the chance to send their questions in advance to try to give as many people as possible a fair opportunity to raise their points. There will also be a chance for ad hoc questions from the floor if time allows.

 Following the detection of cryptosporidium in the Brixham area in May, South West Water teams worked tirelessly, carrying out extensive interventions to remove cryptosporidium from the water supply system and to return drinking water quality to its usual high standard.

 The event next month is one in a series that the water company is hosting across the region as part of its renewed effort to connect with communities, address customer concerns and share its investment plans for the future.

 David Harris, Managing Director of Water Services at South West Water, said: “We know the rare events in Brixham earlier this year had a significant impact on local people and businesses and for that we are truly sorry. While the situation has thankfully been resolved, we know some people may still have questions. We have organised this event to give customers the chance to hear from us in person and we look forward to answering as many questions as we can at the community meeting next month.”

The event is taking place at Scala Hall, Brixham Town Hall, New Road, Brixham, TQ5 8TA from 6pm-7.30pm on Thursday 12^th September.
