- The Midge Squad are two council employees tasked with monitoring the number of tiny brown worms - midge larvae - in the tap water around Southend.
They can’t get rid of them, and it’s been getting worse for the last three years. The worms are apparently harmless, a point made by the water company’s general manager, before BBC reporter John Swinfield insists he take a swig of the creepy-crawly infested H2O.
Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, Monday 23 July, 1973.

@@jeshkam Comments on ‘1973: The MIDGE SQUAD | Nationwide | Science and Nature | BBC Archive’ 1401pm 28.7.24 yiss! then there's no comfusion as to what's being discussed... not that i feel there's any conversation in this - you either have clean water to drink or no. and, let's face it, as i proved to myself, the water quality man refused to drink the water the company expect me to tolerate.. so, there you go. they're hardly 110 percent behind the commodity they are forced to pipe into my home... which has me believe that no one has much of a care about their job - unless it's to make a heady buck or 1000... let's say i ahve clean water when i get home from visiitng mother. and let's say that the water i drink does me no harm... and let's say united utilities believe in their jobs and believ that i am a first class customer and deserve better. i mean, i pay my rates. pah!!!!

Hey, I'm eating here! LMAO.
Brave man: proves as good as his word. They should have it fixed now.
How did they keep getting into the water system for so long?
Who eats dirt-fresh lettuce without washing it?
You realise that A LOT of lettuce in supermarket has only been "washed" by the irrigation system? Many haven't been washed at all. I find bugs and occasional dirt down in the lower parts
She was only using the lettuce unwashed to avoid contaminating it with buggy water.
Ummm CHLORINATE it maybe?
2024 and we still can’t drink tap water in the uk
What utter bilge!
@@thomasm1964 👏👏👏👏correct that’s exactly what it is
This shows water before chlorination days. Now in some cases it's TOO chlorinated
Laughs in Scottish 😂😂😂
FFWD to 2024: The UK drinks poo water.
Are you having a drinking water crisis in the UK?
More of an English thing, they privatised the water firms many moons ago and they are discharging lots of untreated sewage into rivers to maximise profits. Scottish Water is still in state control, run as a not for profit business. Our cooncil juice is much better.
@@Firkinnel In my country South Africa we haven't privatised our water and sanitation and yet our rivers are full of sewage and most municipalities provide unsafe drinking water.
I'm from Sweden, and English tap water is disgusting. I'm happy to drink Swedish tap water, SCotland knows how to do it as well. When are you joining the Nordic countries?
@@jeshkamNo. We are having a troll problem.
We are having problems with some of our water companies discharging raw sewage I to the rivers and the sea but our water is perfectly potable.
