With the current concern and publicity around the quality and cleanliness of our bathing waters, Southern Water have recently made changes to their Beachbuoy facility. Beachbuoy gives near real-time information portal about releases of stormwater or wastewater along the coast. On this interactive, online map you can see updates about releases from combined sewer overflows, so you know what’s happening near you.
