This happened in 1988. It's not news - just that the inquest into the death of someone who lived there at the time has given a coroner, and the media, another chance to (quite rightly) give the water authority a good kicking.

By 1997 said authority had already paid out in excess of half a million in compensation. I'm not sure how much more is likely to follow at this late stage.
