Tests showed River Dhoo safe despite claims on Facebook
The chairman of Manx Utilities is warning of the dangers of spreading misinformation on social media.
It comes after a post on Facebook questioned the safety of the water in the River Dhoo at Union Mills after a dog fell ill.
Testing showed no obvious signs of contamination or threat to health.
Dr Alex Allinson MHK says such posts can lead to unnecessary public concern:
Manx Care 'deeply regrets' data request errors
Healthcare provider says it's committed to ensuring full compliance with data protection laws
Woman bitten by dog in Crosby
She suffered minor injuries during incident
Environmental surveys scheduled for proposed wind farm in south of Island
Ecologists to assess environmental consequences of proposed development
No 20mph 'blanket speed limits', says MHK
Thomas thinks targeted approach is what's needed
