Southern Water is passionately committed to the environment and part of this is being fully transparent about how we operate.
Southern Water is leading the way within the water industry with pollution reporting, and the Beachbouy Bathing Water Portal is part of this. People in our regions are more informed on the bathing waters in their area allowing them to make decisions on their activity, especially after rainfall. No pollution is acceptable to us and we believe it is important that our customers are always fully informed. We understand the upset and disruption this type of incident causes and we continue to strive to do better.”
