Campaign group Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) have launched an online water quality hub, mapping real-time data on sewage overflow discharges for England, Scotland and Wales, as well as historical data for spills in England.
Giles Bristow, SAS’s chief executive, said the charity was “exposing the appalling frequency of sewage spills” to aid the fight against pollution.
He added: “We are on a mission to make the stories, stats and shocking truth behind the sewage scandal in the UK more visible and accessible to all, and thanks to Data HQ, we can.

“This tool is going to be instrumental in our fight against sewage pollution by exposing the extent of discharges across the UK both in real time and historically”, warning there would be no “hiding” or waiting a year for water companies to release their figures.
He added: “As well as live data from Scotland, Wales and England, our sewage map now includes a full history for every recorded overflow in England since December 2024, and we are working towards obtaining more and more of this vital data from water companies in the devolved nations.
“We believe every spill should be logged in real time, and by making this data accessible, we’re exposing the appalling frequency of sewage spills and the impact on human health caused by our failing water industry,” he said.
But the campaigners warn the figures could be much higher as not all overflow information was available for Wales and Scotland.
SAS also suggested that 95 people had reported getting sick from being in sewage-polluted water around the UK since the beginning of the year.

There is widespread anger over the polluted and degraded state of Britain’s rivers and seas, as well as rising bills, high dividends, and executive pay and bonuses at the UK’s privatised water firms.
Sewage spills into England's lakes, rivers and seas by water companies more than doubled in 2023.
According to the Environment Agency, there were 3.6 million hours of spills, compared to 1.75 million hours in 2022.

Spills information for England comes from Water UK’s data platform reflecting what is being reported by English water companies, although the charity warned some issues such as overly sensitive monitors may mean it would not always be 100% accurate.
The data for Wales comes from a feed provided directly by Welsh Water, while SAS said data from Scottish Water was live on its own map, and while they had requested a feed from the utility, they had been able to source the necessary data independently to include in the Data HQ hub map.
There was currently no data available in Northern Ireland, the campaign group said.
