Water Contamination Claims

One of the common gastrointestinal illnesses that can arise due to drinking contaminated water is Cryptosporidiosis. As with many waterborne illnesses, Cryptosporidium is usually spread through consumption of contaminated water or food, or contact with infected faeces. The parasite has an incubation period of two to five days and symptoms to look out for include watery diarrhoea, stomach pain, dehydration and fever and while they usually last several days, they can continue for weeks. 

Elderly people and young children are at particular risk of illness, and those with immune problems may also have a more prolonged recovery time.

Our experience with water contamination claims

We helped a number of residents in North Wales when 1000 people were struck down with Cryptosporidiosis following the contamination of local water supplies.
