A dairy farmer is fighting Southern Water for compensation after two major water incidents led to the loss of at least 20 cattle
A dairy farmer says he still hasn't been fully compensated ten months after two major incidents affecting his water supply led to him losing 20 percent of his herd.The impact was the loss of at least 20 Jersey cows who need large amounts of water to survive with the farmer advised to go to a park and ride in Winchester Park to get bottled water.
"Some of these caves are producing 40, 45 litres a day of milk. So 80% of that milk is water. So these cows are going to intake 250, 300 litres of water each day. Despite efforts from the fire brigade to help, it wasn't enough to save all of the Jersey heard who need large amounts of water.Oliver says it goes nowhere near meeting his losses and its now a fight for survival of the farm.
"Given February’s incident happened so soon after the interruption in December, we decided to double the amounts of money that would normally be awarded to everyone affected.Mum describes shock after number of baby sharks wash up on beach
