‼️In total, discharges lasted for 3,614,427 hours

Last year was bad, and while there were 13,658 fewer spills than in 2023 (3% decrease), in total CSOs in England spilled for slightly longer – 8,258 MORE hours, in fact (0.22% increase).

In 2023, 19% of discharges under investigation due to spills were deemed to be caused by exceptional weather conditions, in 2024 this jumped to 38.6%.

But what do the numbers really mean

Untreated sewage in rivers can kill aquatic life and make us sick too.
