This week the Environment Agency released the annual summary of storm overflow (CSO) spill data, also known as EDM data, from water companies in England for 2024. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s far from good news for rivers.

With raw sewage spilled in England's rivers for an all-time high of over 3.6 billion hours, it’s clear that significant progress to address this form of pollution was not made in 2024.

If you're concerned about spills in your local area, you can check the Near real-time alerts tab of our Sewage Map to identify your nearby CSOs, and see whether a spill is currently occurring or when it most recently discharged and for how long.
