2024 Thames Water tells people in Surrey not to drink tap water
"The "precautionary" measure comes after tests found "a possible deterioration in quality" of drinking water "in some areas" linked to a historical fuel leak which locals have complained about since 2021."
Hundreds of people living in a village in Surrey have been warned not to drink tap water after tests carried out by Thames Water.
A total of 616 homes in Bramley, near Guildford, have been told not to use their water supply for drinking, cooking, or brushing their teeth, in what the company calls a "precautionary" measure.
2024 Experts call for tighter limits on 'forever chemicals' in water
"Stricter limits are needed on levels of 'forever chemicals' in UK drinking water which are potentially harmful to human health, experts have warned."
In high doses these pollutants, known as PFAS, have been linked to serious health concerns including cancer and fertility issues.
The Royal Society of Chemistry urged the government to toughen regulations in line with other countries.
The government said current safety standards were "exceptionally high".
'Forever chemicals' are a group of more than 9,000 chemicals widely used in everyday products from food packaging to make-up because of their water-resistant properties.
2024 London tap water contaminated by ‘forever’ chemicals
London’s tap water is contaminated with “forever” chemicals that can pose a risk to human health, new analysis has revealed.
Samples of tap water were taken from three locations, Harrow Heathrow and Battersea, and were found to have chemicals including PFOA and PFOS, known as forever chemicals.
But that doesn’t apply to my water, right?
The truth is there are various issues with every water company up and down the country relating to failed testing samples, forever chemicals, microplastics and much more. Just look at your area!
Northumbrian Water
Northumbrian Water accused of underreporting sewage pollution.
Northumbrian Water is accused of not complying with environmental laws and regulators’ reporting responsibilities. This could leave millions of customers in the Northeast of England owed money if the case is won. Northumbrian Water is accused of breaking competition law by misleading the Environment Agency and water company regulator Ofwat about the number of untreated sewage spills and discharges they made into rivers, lakes, the sea and other waterways.
United Utilities
"United Utilities ‘misreported sewage pollution’ and received £5m bonus."
BBC Panorama said it has leaked documents suggesting that more than 60 cases were wrongly downgraded to the lowest level, meaning they are not counted as pollution incidents in the official figures. These incidents are often sewage discharges caused by blockages or equipment failure which can kill wildlife and endanger human health.
Anglian Water
"Anglian water given two star rating by Environment Agency for third year running after 300 sewage pollution incidents."
The annual report highlights 307 sewerage pollution incidents (or 40 pollution incidents from sewerage assets per 10,000km) and 11 serious incidents from sewerage assets, as the main reasons for the rating.
Severn Trent Water
"Severn Trent hit with £2m fine for pollution."
BBC Panorama said it has leaked documents suggesting that more than 60 cases were wrongly downgraded to the lowest level, meaning they are not counted as pollution incidents in the official figures. These incidents are often sewage discharges caused by blockages or equipment failure which can kill wildlife and endanger human health.
Dŵr Cymru Water
"Stark' warning issued to Welsh Water over sewage pollution."
Natural Resources Wales has issued a warning to Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water after parts of its performance worsened year-on-year. The total number of pollution incidents increased by around 20% compared to 2022, with the company responsible for 107 in 2023.
This number had been slowly but steadily decreasing since 2015 but began rising again in 2021. NRW said it was "disappointing" that the improvement on this metric was not sustained… Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water provides drinking water and wastewater sewerage to the majority of Wales.
Essex & Suffolk Water
"Faecal bacteria found in water supply in EIGHT more UK regions."
Devon isn't the only part of the UK battling against a tainted water supply - with 'faecal bacteria' now present in several other regions. As per the DWI, the following water authorities are now battling with cases of ‘faecal matter’ in the drinking supply: Severn Trent Water, Anglian Water, United Utilities, Northumbria, Essex and Suffolk Water, Thames Water, Bristol Water, DWR Cymru Welsh Water.
Bristol Water
"Pennon Group will not achieve 2024 four-star environment rating - bosses."
The company behind South West Water and Bristol Water has abandoned its goal of a four-star environmental performance rating in 2024. The Pennon Group said it did not think it would achieve the result until 2025, blaming "current operating conditions". It said it expected to achieve a two-star rating for the second year in a row.
Thames Water

Best Under-sink water filter: Water2 Filter, £129
Best Under-sink Water Filter
The Water2 capsule, born out of collaboration with University College London, offers a year-long lifespan and installs onto the cold tap pipe under your sink. The internal filter is sourced from coconut shells and uses a proprietary blend of activated carbon and silver ionisation to filter tap water to 0.1 microns – something Water2 says is 2,000 times more effective than the Brita Maztra Jug.
The packaging was all recyclable. Inside the box is a capsule and filter, a white adapter for converting 3/8" to 1/2" to fit all taps in Europe, two black washer circles for the input and output, a battery to power the smart capsule indicator and a how-to guide in English and Italian. This guide offers easy-to-follow pictures but very small written instructions. More useful was the series of step-by-step setup videos that you can access once the capsule arrives.
There wasn't a noticeable impact on water pressure after installation but it made a big different on taste and mouthfeel.
Pros:
Filters to 0.1 microns
Fits all European taps providing they're flexi pipes
Recyclable packaging
Made in a solar-powered facility in Italy
Star rating - 5/5

“UCL alumnus launches innovative water filter”
Water2 was set up by alumnus Charles Robinson (UCL Philosophy) in 2020 to address the issue of improving access to fresh drinking water for people all over the world.
Water2’s main product, the Pod, is an under-sink water filter that uses activated carbon and silver ionisation to filter tap water to up to 0.1 microns (where one micron is equal to a thousandth of a millimetre). Particles larger than this will not pass through into drinking water. The Pod therefore filters water over 1,000 times more finely than many typical household water jug cartridges.
Compared to commercial filter jugs that need a fresh cartridge every month or so, the Pod only requires one capsule a year.
