Water business may pay £3.5m as compensation

The proprietor of South West Water (SWW) has declared that it will provide approximately £3.5 million in compensation to customers who a parasite outbreak in Devon has impacted. The Pennon group also disclosed its financial results on Tuesday, which encompassed dividends that would be paid to shareholders. Devon MP Anthony Mangnall dubbed the announcement "tin-eared" and urged the group to either suspend its dividend offering or resign from its leadership.
