Right now, 24 storm overflows are spilling sewage into England's rivers and canals. Another 216 are running silent — their monitors are offline, so discharges wouldn't be recorded.
We cross-check water-company discharge data against the Environment Agency's lab tests, river-level sensors, and 16,661 mapped overflows — and flag where the official story doesn't hold up. Currently 569 open discrepancies, including 297 dry-weather spills this week. Open data only.
No sampling points are scoring green right now — either coverage is still building or recent rainfall has triggered widespread caution flags. Check back shortly.
