Bristol Water has lifted the boil water notice issued to customers in the Clevedon area on 12th January following the detection of cryptosporidium at its Clevedon treatment works.
The water company immediately shut the treatment works down and took it out of service as soon as it had the initial result showing cryptosporidium in the untreated raw water supplying the works.
The drinking water supply to Clevedon area is now coming from other treatment works and from other sources.
Over the last few days, Bristol Water has been taking samples from the treated water storage reservoir in Clevedon and at customers’ houses. No cryptosporidium has been detected in any of the samples. The utility has also fully flushed the water network in the area meaning the network now has a fresh supply from other sources.
Compensation will automatically be paid to customers affected after the event.
