Description

An ocean dip with a side of dysentery? No thanks. Our award-winning, free-to-download app is the only national Water Quality service keeping you in the loop with what’s happening where in our waters.

When it comes to living in the UK, shit happens. And far too much of it in our waterscapes. Untreated sewage and wastewater regularly gush from thousands of sewer overflows around the country. It stinks.

Add to that the impact of severe rainfall – which churns all manner of unknown pollutants into the ocean from farming, septic tanks, roads, and urban areas – and it’s not a pretty picture.

The Safer Seas and River Service makes it easy to check in, search out a swim, surf, or sail spot, and be served the latest pollution alert for over 450 locations across the UK.

The app also includes complementary beach information including tide times and lifeguard services and allows you to take direct action on water quality issues by getting involved in our campaigns or emailing you MP or Water Company CEO when an alert in place.

Users can submit a sickness report if they've become unwell after using the water to help aid our campaigning work and reveal the true extent to which sewage pollution is impacting human health.

Want to stay safe in the water and help us end sewage pollution? Download the app Safer Seas & Rivers Service to join the campaign and make informed decisions about where and when you enter the water.
