South West Water has issued an urgent warning following an outbreak of cryptosporidium which has triggered a wave of diarrhoea, sickness and stomach pains.
Locals in Brixham, Boohay, Kingswear, Roseland and north-east Paignton have been prompted to boil their water as a precaution when drinking it or using it to cook with and brush teeth.
The issue is being investigated after twenty-two cases of the bug - caused by a parasite - were recorded.
