I am sure you’ll agree that this is not nearly enough.

This outbreak changed lives. People became ill, some were hospitalised, and the social and economic impact was massive.

The whole saga is symptomatic of a fundamentally broken water industry.

Until the government realises this, we will not see the scale of change needed.
