Islanders urged to boil water over quality issues

People on one of the Isles of Scilly have been urged to boil their water after routine testing.

Described it as "precautionary", South West Water said it had issued the warning on Bryher after results from water quality monitoring.

The water company said "protecting public health remains our priority" and bottled water was available for residents from the Church Quay waiting room.

South West Water added: "We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and thank customers for their patience and understanding."

The provider said they were taking "the necessary steps to ensure the water supply meets all required standards".

"We will continue to keep customers updated on our progress and will notify them as soon as the notice can be safely lifted," it said.

The company said customers affected by the notice would receive compensation in line with the company's Guaranteed Standards Scheme.
